 If the cluster is busy, requesting an interactive session may take time and fail. The scheduler will happily schedule resources for a user, but if the user asks for an interactive session with say 6 cores and there is no machine with 6 cores free, the scheduler cannot fulfil the request at the moment. ​ If the cluster is busy, requesting an interactive session may take time and fail.

-The scheduler treats an interactive job the same as a batch job, queueing it with the FIFO strategy described above. However, an exception to the FIFO scheduling appears when a parallel job is waiting for other jobs to finish and release resources. Then a short job can be promoted ahead of the queue, if it fits into an empty slot that is reserved for later use by the parallel job, so called backfill. Thus, queueing interactive jobs with shorter wall times have a higher probability of starting earlier.+The scheduler treats an interactive job the same as a batch job, queueing it with the FIFO strategy described above.
