| BACKFILL-TEST README |
| ==================== |
| The backfill-test can also function as a standalone backfill and |
| select plugin emulator. After running `make check`, the |
| `backfill-test` binary will be located in the `.libs` directory. |
| |
| USAGE |
| ----- |
| To use `backfill-test`, you need to: |
| |
| 1. Specify the directory containing the required configuration files |
| using the `-c` option. |
| 2. Specify the input test file that lists the jobs to be processed |
| using the `-t` option. |
| |
| TEST FILE FORMAT |
| ---------------- |
| Each line in the test file represents a job specification. |
| The format is as follows (space delimited): |
| |
| - First number: `job_id` (if set to `0`, it will be assigned automatically). |
| - Second number: Job priority. |
| - Third number: Requested number of nodes. |
| - Fourth number: Time limit for the job. |
| |
| Empty lines and lines starting with `#` are ignored. |
| |
| IMPORTANT NOTES |
| --------------- |
| - Not all options are supported. Refer to the provided `slurm.conf` file in this |
| directory for guidance. |
| - The test file is not validated. Ensure its correctness before use. |
