Thanks Thomas, That's helpful and a bit more tenable than what I thought was going to be required. I have a few additional questions. Based on my reading of the docs, it seems that GrpTRESmin is set on the account and then each user needs to have the partition set there. This bri

Slurm accounting is based on the notion of "associations". An association is a set of cluster, partition, allocation account, and user. I think most sites do the accounting so that it is a single limit applied to all partitions, etc. but you can use sacctmgr to apply limits at any association lev

[slurm-users] How to implement job arrays with distribution=cyclic

2018-12-12 Thread Roger Moye
I have a user who wants to control how job arrays are allocated to nodes. He wants to mimic a cyclic distribution, basically round-robin assignment of each job within the array. That is, array element 1 as assigned to node 1, element 2 to node 2, and so on until there is an element running

[slurm-users] PrologFlags=Contain significantly changing job activity on compute nodes

2018-12-12 Thread Baker D . J .
Hello, I wondered if someone could please help us to understand why the PrologFlags=contain flag is causing jobs to fail and draining compute nodes. We are, by the way, using slurm 18.08.0. Has anyone else seem this behaviour? I'm currently experimenting with PrologFlags=contain. I've found tha
