Dear all, I have an account on a computer cluster with slurm. In theory, my account comes with a finite number of hours. However, it seems that computed hours are not taken into account by slurm:
$squota Account Usage Quota Available user-high 50 10000 99950 user-low 301 200000 199699 Then run a job with script run.slurm #!/bin/sh #SBATCH --time=24:00:00 #SBATCH --partition=short #SBATCH --nodes=1 #SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1 time ./code.o and execute $sbatch run.slurm The job completes succesfully: $cat slurm-xxxxx.out code completed user 164m59.712s …. and here is what I get if I check the quota after the job run $squota Account Usage Quota Available user-high 50 10000 99950 user-low 301 200000 199699 The time unit in squota is hours, and I have checked that squota does not change also for way longer jobs, and that it does not change even if I wait several weeks after the job has finished. Do you think that the scheduler is not taking account of the hours that I consume, i.e., that I can use as many hours as I want? Thank you.
