Anyone know how to solve this? Will upgrading slurm latest version help ? For example, there are two nodes A and B with 8 gpus per node, I submitted 8 1 gpu jobs, slurm will allocate first 6 jobs on node A, then last 2 jobs on node B. Then when I submit one job with 8 gpus, it will pending because of gpu fragments: nodes A has 2 idle gpus, node b 6 idle gpus Thanks in advance!
