Dynamic determination of queue
Opened this issue · 3 comments
Would be great if we could specify a queue based on resources (like mem_mb, gpu, ...).
What do you mean by that? Could you elaborate, please?
Let's chat about that in person, maybe this is also something for the main Snakemake source. I am not yet entirely clear about it.
@johanneskoester We have not addressed this — yet. Meanwhile, I see the slurm-gustave-roussy integrated into the catalogue. This is a bit unfortunate because it is a one-cluster only solution, and we loose maintainability or feature completeness, if we further support the proliferation of cluster plugins for one batch system. On the other hand, though, we strive to provide a convenient UI. One without the need to write complex profiles for every cluster.
An idea presumably similar to yours has been discussed (see #106). I elaborated, that this is nice to have, but difficult to implement because every cluster is different and SLURM allows coding additional plugins, which in turn allow having similar features addressed by different user syntax. If you've got time, either next week or (better) after my holidays.
