How to disable fair sharing
Known to work with Condor version: 7.0
By default, Condor adjusts user priorities over time based on how many slots the user claims. A user who has recently used a lot of the pool will therefore tend to have a worse priority than one who has used it less.
If you wish to disable Condor's automatic adjustment of user priorities, you can effectively do so with the following configuration setting:
PRIORITY_HALFLIFE = 1.0e100
Then a user's priority will be effectively constant. You can adjust the relative priority of users, as usual:
condor_userprio -setfactor <user1> 10 condor_userprio -setfactor <user2> 20
In the example above, user1 should be able to claim twice as many machines as user2 (because user priorities are inversely proportional to share of the pool).
