Dear Loris, Yes it is indeed a bit odd. At least now I know that this is how SLURM behaves and not something that has to do with our configuration. Regards, Thekla On 9/12/21 1:04 μ.μ., Loris Bennett wrote: Dear Thekla, Yes, I think you are right. I have found a similar job on my system a

Dear Thekla, Yes, I think you are right. I have found a similar job on my system and this does seem to be the normal, slightly confusing behaviour. It looks as if the pending elements of the array get assigned a single node, but then start on other nodes: $ squeue -j 8536946 -O jobid,jobarray

Dear Loris, Thank you for your reply. I don't believe that there is something wrong with the job configuration or the node configuration to be honest. I have just submitted a simple sleep script: #!/bin/bash sleep 10 as below: sbatch --array=1-10 --ntasks-per-node=40 --time=09:00:00 test.s

Dear Loris, There is no specific node required for this array. I can verify that from "scontrol show job 124841" since the requested node list is empty: ReqNodeList=(null) Also, all 17 nodes of the cluster are identical so all nodes fulfill the job requirements, not only node cn06. By "sav

Dear all, I have noticed that SLURM schedules several jobs from a job array on the same node with the same start time and end time. Each of these jobs requires the full node. You can see the squeue output below:           JOBID     PARTITION  ST   START_TIME  NODES SCHEDNODES   NOD
