"a bit afterwards" is too vague to reason anything aside sched_interval just being the default 60s: https://slurm.schedmd.com/sched_config.html What's the (average) runtime of the jobs? If your jobs are not running longer than the sched_interval default you might want to *decrease* that. Regards, Benjamin -- FSU Jena | JULIELab.de/Staff/Benjamin+Redling.html ☎ +49 3641 9 44323
