Wall-time Accuracy Information

Due to current usage patterns on OSC's Owens Cluster, users may benefit from improving the wall-time accuracy of their submitted jobs. A job has high wall-time accuracy if the the requested wall time comes near the actual wall time when the job completes. The benefit of improving one's wall-time accuracy is that the requested wall time is taken into account when scheduling jobs to run. Usually, jobs that request shorter wall time, ceteris paribus, will wait for less time than jobs requesting longer wall times. One can investigate the accuracy of their previous jobs using the following HOW TO webpage: https://www.osc.edu/resources/getting_started/howto/how_to_look_at_wall_time_accuracy_using_xdmod Contact OSC Help if you questions, comments or concerns
