SchedulingMode Enumeration

Defines modes for optimizing resource allocation for large batch and Message Passing Interface (MPI) workloads or for service workloads.


Namespace: Microsoft.Hpc.Scheduler.Properties
Assembly: Microsoft.Hpc.Scheduler.Properties (in microsoft.hpc.scheduler.properties.dll)

public enum SchedulingMode
public enum SchedulingMode
public enum SchedulingMode

Member nameDescription
BalancedSpecifies that the HPC Job Scheduler Service should attempt to start all incoming jobs as soon as possible at their minimum resource requirements. After all the jobs in the queue have their minimum resources, the HPC Job Scheduler Service should allocate additional cluster resources to jobs based on their priority. The HPC Job Scheduler Service periodically rebalances resource allocation to fill idle resources, start new jobs, and adjust allocation according the PriorityBias setting. This enumeration member represents a value of 1.
QueuedSpecifies that the HPC Job Scheduler Service should start jobs in queue order, and attempt to allocate the maximum requested resources to running jobs. This enumeration member represents a value of 0.

To use this enumeration in Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript), you need to use the numeric values for the enumeration members or create constants that correspond to those members and set them equal to the numeric values. The following code example shows how to create and set constants for this enumeration in VBScript.

const Queued = 0
const Balanced = 1

Platform Note: This enumeration is supported only for Windows HPC Server 2008 R2.
