Hi,we had the same issue and solved it by using the 'plane' distribution in combination with MPMD style srun, e.g. in your example
#SBATCH -N 3 # 3 nodes with 10 cores each #SBATCH -n 21 # 21 MPI-tasks in sum #SBATCH --cpus-per-task=1 # if you do not want hyperthreading cat > mpmd.conf << EOF 0-19 ./slave_app 20 ./master_app EOF srun--distribution=plane=10 --multi-prog mpmd.conf More examples are given here: https://slurm.schedmd.com/dist_plane.html Best regards, Hendryk
