Re: [slurm-users] Interactive jobs using "srun --pty bash" and MPI

Hi Em, this is most probably because in Slurm version 20.11 the behaviour of srun was changed to not allow job steps to overlap by default any more. An interactive job launched by `srun --pty bash´ always creates a regular step (step .0), so mpirun or srun will hang when trying to launch anoth

[slurm-users] Interactive jobs using "srun --pty bash" and MPI

Greetings -- When we started using Slurm some years ago, obtaining the interactive resources through "srun ... --pty bash" was the standard that we adopted. We are now running Slurm v22.05 (happily), though we noticed recently some limitations when claiming resources to demonstrate or develop in a

Dear Jürgen, man thanks for your reply, and your thoughts! What you say makes deductively much sense to me ;) It is only confusing in respect to the SchedMD documentation, as I pointed out. (MaxRSSTask is then distinguished to be what?) So, if you are right, this includes really everything,

Re: [slurm-users] slurm accounting shows more MaxRSS than physically available memory

Hi Martin, to my very best knowledge MaxRSS does report aggregated memory consumption of all tasks but including all the shared libraries that the individual processes uses, even though a shared library is only loaded into memory once regardless of how many processes use it. So shared librarie

[slurm-users] slurm accounting shows more MaxRSS than physically available memory

Dear "Commiserates". I wonder a bit about the meaning of MaxRSS. The documentation says: "Maximum resident set size of all tasks in job." To what refers here "maximum"? The maximum over job period, I understand hopefully correctly. But it does not seem to be the size of all tasks (summed up, so-
