How to set the maximum priority to a Slurm job?
<p>as administrator I need to give the maximum priority to a given job.</p>

<p>I have found that submission options like: <code>--priority=&lt;value&gt;</code> or <code>--nice[=adjustment]</code> could be useful, but I do not know which values I should assign them in order to provide the job with the highest priority.</p>

<p>Another approach could be to set a low priority by default to all the jobs and to the special ones increase it. </p>

<p>Any idea of how I could carry it out?</p>

<p>EDIT: I am using <em>sched/backfill</em> policy and the default job priority policy (FIFO).</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>
