Post by Andrus, Brian ContractorThey do work, but they do not do what I need.
See when someone submits >100000 array jobs, it fills up the job
list that is used to schedule the jobs.
That is MAXJOB tells how many jobs to work with within moab to
decide priority and who to run. So if MAXJOB is set to 50000, and
someone submits an array of 100000, then 1/2 of their jobs get
pulled in and the rest are ignored (for now) by moab.
Now along comes supersensitive.user who submits his interactive
job, which will sit for way too long because moab isn't even going
to schedule it. In fact, moab is ignoring it.
I think your are looking for MAXIJOB (idle jobs). MAXIJOB was
designed to prevent queue stuffing. For instance on our systems, we
only allow a maximum of 50 idle jobs, meaning Moab will only
actively increase priority and make attempts to schedule those jobs
in the idle queue. Any jobs above the 50 are placed in a blocked
state, and they are basically ignored.

This won't completely reject the jobs, but it will help. It will prevent a user from stuffing the queue with jobs, but it won't get Moab to reject things submitted via qsub. Generally speaking, it is not possible for Moab to do that.
Post by Andrus, Brian ContractorI could set MAXJOB to 500000, but that still doesn't prevent a user
from submitting too many jobs such that the list that is looked at
does not over-fill.
Is there a setting were if someone were to submit >X jobs (array or
otherwise), torque/moab will not even allow it in?

Post by Lloyd BrownYou could try one of the per-queue limits
(http://www.adaptivecomputing.com/resources/docs/torque/2-5-9/4.1queueconfig.php).
- max_queuable
- max_running
- max_user_queuable
- max_user_run
As of TORQUE 2.5 these should work correctly with job arrays

Post by Andrus, Brian ContractorAll,
Ok, using torque/moab latest versions.
Have someone submitting array jobs with t>100000
This causes much grief.
How to I limit a user from having X number of total jobs in the
queue
(to include each individual array element)?
I see MAXJOBS, but that doesn?t do it.
