Poblem: Given many entities competing for same rq on
same scheduler an uncceptabliy long wait time for some
jobs waiting stuck in rq before being picked up are
observed (seen using GPUVis).
The issue is due to Round Robin policy used by scheduler
to pick up the next entity for execution. Under stress
of many entities and long job queus within entity some
jobs could be stack for very long time in it's entity's
queue before being popped from the queue and executed
while for other entites with samller job queues a job
might execute ealier even though that job arrived later
then the job in the long queue.
Fix:
Add FIFO selection policy to entites in RQ, chose next enitity
on rq in such order that if job on one entity arrived
ealrier then job on another entity the first job will start
executing ealier regardless of the length of the entity's job
queue.
