[torqueusers] prioritize a set of users for using a set of nodes.

[Go Yoshimura]

Hello,

My name is Go Yoshimura.
I am using to torque4.1.0/maui3.3.1.
- My question is about prioritizing a set of users for using a certain nodes
- Granted that
  (1)There are node groups "node group A" and "node group B"
     nodeA1,nodeA2,nodeA3 ....
     nodeB1,nodeB2,nodeB3 ....
  (2)There are user groups "user group A" and "user group B"
     userA1,userA2,userA3 .... 
     userB1,userB2,userB3 ....
- What we want to do are
  (1)"user group A" use "node group A"
  (2)"user group B" use "node group B"
  (3)"user group A" can use "node group B" if "node group B" has no idle job of "node group B".
  (4)"user group B" can use "node group A" if "node group A" has no idle job of "node group A"
- I have succeeded in doing (1)/(2) with using parttions 
         http://www.adaptivecomputing.com/resources/docs/maui/7.2partitions.php
        
       NODECFG[nodeA1] PARTITION=groupA 
       NODECFG[nodeA2] PARTITION=groupA 
          ..
       NODECFG[nodeB1] PARTITION=groupB
       NODECFG[nodeB2] PARTITION=groupB
          ..
       USERCFG[userA1] PLIST=groupA
       USERCFG[userA2] PLIST=groupA
           ..
       USERCFG[userB1] PLIST=groupB
       USERCFG[userB2] PLIST=groupB
           ..
       SYSCFG[base] PLIST=
- But 
   (3)/(4) are difficult.
- I succeeded in doing (1a)/(2a)/(3a)/(4a)
  (1a)"user group A" mainly use "node group A"
  (2a)"user group B" mainly use "node group B"
  (3a)"user group A" can use "node group B" if "user group A" needs more nodes.
  (4a)"user group B" can use "node group A" if "user group B" needs more nodes.
       USERCFG[userA1] PLIST=groupA:groupB PDEF=groupA
       USERCFG[userA2] PLIST=groupA:groupB PDEF=groupA
           ..
       USERCFG[userB1] PLIST=groupB:groupA PDEF=groupB
       USERCFG[userB2] PLIST=groupB:groupA PDEF=groupB
           ..
  With (1a)/(2a)/(3a)/(4a), it is possible 
   all Nodes are used by "user group A" and jobs of "user group B" are idle.
- How can we prioritize a set of users for using a certain nodes?

        if((node==node group A) && (user==user group A)) Priority +=100 ;
        if((node==node group B) && (user==user group B)) Priority +=100 ;

thank you
go
