Restricted functionality

The priorities are used when resources are assigned to a compute project.

Note

For PERSEUS itself, the priority does not have any influence on resources and their usage. Usually, the priority determines how the project can use a resource and whether jobs are prioritized over others, i.e. when submitting a job using SLURM. It is up to you how you interpret priorities, i.e. when working with project data in custom services.

Add Priority

To add a new priority, simply click the add priority button. In the dialog, enter the required information:

• The ID is the human-readable name of the priority (i.e. low, normal, high, …)
• The value is the integer value of the priority. The value can be positive or negative. A higher number often means a higher priority. Keep in mind that each value should be unique.

When you click the submit button, the new priority is created.

Edit Priority

You can easily edit a priority by clicking the pencil icon to the right of the priority list entry:

In the dialog, you can change both properties of a priority. Keep in mind that a value should be used for only one priority.

When you click the submit button, the changed properties are saved.

Delete Priority

You can delete a priority by clicking the bin icon to the right of the priority list entry:

When you click the bin icon for a priority list entry, you will be asked if you really want to delete it. You can cancel the deletion process or confirm it.
