Specify the Express Queue Minimum Priority

Specify the minimum queue priority required for a queue to be classified as an express queue.

Important: The Express Queue Priority Cutoff parameter can only be updated if the cluster was added by a user with passwordless sudo permissions and therefore may not appear as a Scheduling parameter.
A queue is an express queue if its priority is greater than or equal to the value that defines an express queue. This value is defined by the Express Queue Priority Cutoff parameter. The default value is 150.

You can use express queues as tools to manage job execution and preemption priority.
