Hey Suzanne, In order to "combine" RAM between different systems, you will need a hardware/software solution like ScaleMP, or you need a software framework like OpenMPI. If your software is already written to use MPI then, in a sense, it is "combining" the memory.
SLURM is a resource manager and only helps you allocate and track the usage of the memory. Here is an example link you may find useful: https://psteinb.github.io/hpc-in-a-day/02-04-bonus-mpi-for-pi/ Regards, Alex On Wed, Apr 17, 2019 at 2:26 PM Susanne Pfeifer <spfei...@asu.edu> wrote: > Dear slurm community, > > I am relatively new to Slurm and I am wondering whether it is possible > to combine RAM between different nodes (e.g., can I combine three nodes > with 384GB RAM each to run a job that requires 1TB RAM)?
