When jobs are submitted, Condor must allocate available resources to the requesting users. It does so by using a value called <i>userprio</i> (user priority). The lower the value of <i>userprio</i> the higher the priority for that user. For example, a user with <i>userprio</i> 5 has a higher priority than a user with <i>userprio</i> 50. The share of available machines that a user should be allocated is continuously calculated by Condor and changes based on the resource use of the individual. If a user has more machines allocated than the <i>userprio</i>, then the value will worsen by increasing over time. If a user has less machines allocated than the <i>userprio</i>, then it will improve by decreasing over time. This is how Condor fairly distributes machine resources to users. | When jobs are submitted, Condor must allocate available resources to the requesting users.
