<h2>Job Size Factor</h2></a>
<P> The job size factor correlates to the number of nodes the job has requested. This factor can be configured to favor larger jobs or smaller jobs based on the state of the <i>PriorityFavorSmall</i> boolean in the slurm.conf file. When <i>PriorityFavorSmall</i> is NO, the larger the job, the greater its job size factor will be. A job that requests all the nodes on the machine will get a job size factor of 1.0. When the <i>PriorityFavorSmall</i> Boolean is YES, the single node job will receive the 1.0 job size factor.</P>
