Hi all, Since it is currently impossible to run jobs in eldorado queue of odyssey without waiting for days, I asked the administrators to set a "fairshare" scheduling policy. This means that priority for job execution will be based on the time that users have consumed, so users that use the cluster less will have higher priorities and their jobs will run first. In any case, to make a better use of the resources it is essential that we start including the maximum run time for our jobs in the script. This allows the scheduler to run small jobs in empty processors that are waiting for large parallel jobs. The time is given by the -W parameter of bsub, so for example, if you put #BSUB -W 2:00 in the script, you are telling the system that the job will take at most 2 hours (after that it will be killed).
