Dispatch balanced mode switch. When turned on, the dispatch query will use a formula that makes sure smaller jobs don't get starved by large jobs. This mode also disregards the layer_limit feature for performance implications. the formula takes into account the number of required cores and the time the job has been waiting on queue. Formula: rank = priority + (100 * (1 - (job.cores/job.int_min_cores))) + (age in days) This heuristic favors scenarios with a large amount of jobs and hosts and when turned off, only job priorities are taken into account, making the queue more predictable.
