What Is Fair-Share Scheduling?

Fair-share scheduling divides a shared cluster so that each team gets its agreed portion of capacity over time, rather than whoever submits first.

How it works

  • Each team or project is given a share of the cluster.
  • The scheduler tracks how much each one has used recently.
  • Jobs from teams under their share run ahead of jobs from teams over it.
  • Capacity nobody is using stays available to everyone else.

How Vantage Compute relates

Vantage Compute lets teams share capacity by policy, with GPU hours and spend tracked per team and project.
