Limit cores per user

Limit cores per user

Hi,

This question relates to Windows HPC Server 2008 R2 SP1.

Is there a cluster variable for the max number of cores a user can have? Like the MAXPROC variable in other schedulers.

I suppose an activation filter could be employed if there is no such variable.

Thanks,

Vaughan

Hi Vaughan,

If you want to implement some per user restrictions, you can use Job Templates feature.

Here's some documentation: http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/8/4/584d79a8-d80d-42f2-b372-11e817bd5354/Windows%20HPC%20Server%202008%20Job%20Templates%20White%20Paper.doc

Thanks,
Łukasz

Hi Vaughan,

As stated about Job Template is a viable option if you have a set of jobs to be scheduled with a generic set of requirements.

If you want to do the same for a single job. you can limit the core using JobId.MaxCores property.

Please let me know if this answers your query.

Thanks,

Sridutt
