Hi Jeff, That’s what I first looked at, but that page is so confusing I couldn’t decipher if that was indeed what I was looking for. A SchedMD person replied to me privately and pointed me to the same location. After a bit of back and forth, it is indeed the heterogeneous job that I am looking for. But, unfortunately, it turns out that running an executable across multiple components is not supported until version 18.08, which isn’t out yet. But, I did get my question answered.
So, I’ll have to wait for the next version. I think it would be helpful to me and others if that page was reworked to describe more clearly what a heterogeneous job is, what a component is, and provide more examples that include basic usage as well as advanced usage.
