Claim 26:
27. A method of configuring at least a portion of a multi-node compute environment, the method comprising:
generating, by at least one computer processor, a system job in the multi-node compute environment, the system job comprising a job which configures at least one resource associated with the compute environment for subsequent utilization of the compute environment by one or more compute jobs without the system job executing any workload associated with the one or more computes jobs; and
performing, by the at least one computer processor, the configuration of the at least one aspect of the compute environment by processing the system job;
wherein the system job comprises a job that has one or more dependencies, the one or more dependencies based on at least a resource type associated with the at least one resource being configured; and
wherein:
the system job further configures the at least one aspect of the compute environment for subsequent utilization by the one or more compute jobs without the system job making any allocation of the one or more compute jobs or portions thereof, to one or more nodes of the multi-node compute environment for execution; and
the subsequent utilization by the one or more compute jobs comprises consumption of compute resources within the multi-node compute environment.
