[slurm-users] squeue: node vs. core memory request

2018-09-13 Thread Oleksandr Moskalenko
Hi, I wonder if anyone was able to address the following squeue issue - whether with a workaround or with a patch. The squeue command's %m format type specification is described as providing a 'Minimum size of memory (in MB) requested by the job.' Unfortunately, as far as I can tell it does

This is true.  I've seen this happen before in our set up if sacctmgr happens to wedge.  It doesn't happen very frequently though and doesn't impact us that much.  We've been running in this fashion for years now with only very infrequent degradation. We do about 80,000 jobs per day.  Plus we o

At one point in time we would also use the job_submit.lua to add users, however, I cannot recommend it in general since job_submit runs while locks are held within slurmcltd, which could have dramatic performance or even functionality impacts if there are delays in adding the user. Doug Jacobs

So the Lua script I posted only does it for people who submit to the cluster.  To do it for all users it should just be a simple bash script to do that, I don't have one put together though. -Paul Edmon- On 09/13/2018 10:29 AM, Eric F. Alemany wrote: Hi Paul You said “Another way would be

Hi Paul, I'd be interested in seeing your Lua submit script, if you're willing to share. Until now I had thought that the most elegant way of setting up Slurm users would be via a PAM module analogous to pam_mkhomedir, the simplest option being to use pam_script. However, given that we do have u
