I haven't found anything in the documentation that talks about limitations regarding job accounting. Until now, I thought the database is mainly needed for the (fair-)shares. Additionally I find the sacct -o behavior (at least on 16.05) weird / unstrict: it matches the options as long as it is a prefix of a documented one, e.g., "Alloc". Is that by intention? " Fair-share Factor Note: Computing the fair-share factor requires the installation and operation of the Slurm Accounting Database to provide the assigned shares and the consumed, computing resources described below. " on https://slurm.schedmd.com/priority_multifactor.html#fairshare could be interpreted that a database is strictly needed, but nothing in the man page to slurm.conf nor "Accounting and Resource Limits" (https://slurm.schedmd.com/accounting.html) point towards any details where the plugins differ. Does anyone know a compact comparison of plugin settins where features / limitations are listed? Regards, Benjamin -- FSU Jena | JULIELab.de/Staff/Benjamin+Redling.html ☎ +49 3641 9 44323
