DEFAULT_HOST_SPEC
Syntax
DEFAULT_HOST_SPEC=
host_name | host_model

DESCRIPTION
Syntax
DESCRIPTION=
text
Description
Description of the job queue that will be displayed by bqueues -l.
This description should clearly describe the service features of this queue, to help users
select the proper queue for each job.
The text can include any characters, including white space. The text can be extended to
multiple lines by ending the preceding line with a backslash (\). The maximum length
for the text is 512 characters.
DISPATCH_ORDER
Syntax
DISPATCH_ORDER=QUEUE
Description
Defines an ordered cross-queue fairshare set. DISPATCH_ORDER indicates that jobs
are dispatched according to the order of queue priorities first, then user fairshare
priority.
By default, a user has the same priority across the master and slave queues. If the same
user submits several jobs to these queues, user priority is calculated by taking into
account all the jobs the user has submitted across the master-slave set.
If DISPATCH_ORDER=QUEUE is set in the master queue, jobs are dispatched
according to queue priorities first, then user priority. Jobs from users with lower
fairshare priorities who have pending jobs in higher priority queues are dispatched
before jobs in lower priority queues. This avoids having users with higher fairshare
priority getting jobs dispatched from low-priority queues.
Jobs in queues having the same priority are dispatched according to user priority.
Queues that are not part of the cross-queue fairshare can have any priority; the are not
limited to fall outside of the priority range of cross-queue fairshare queues.
