You are putting the cart before the horse here. While you can get access
to all the node using --exclusive, when you request cores, you will not
know if you have more. For example you request 80 cores and land on a 40
and a 48 with exclusive access. You would need to do some sort of
discovery to know what is available versus what you asked for. When
using exclusive, it becomes more like "I want at least X cores" and you
get "Ok, here are X cores or more"
Within your script, you could check for total cores. something like
'srun lscpu' and parse the output.

Hi all,
I am looking for an option to use all cores when submitting to
heterogeneous nodes.
In this case I have 2 partitions:
part1: #N1 nodes, each node has 40 cores
part2: #N2 nodes, each node has 48 cores
I want to submit to both partitions, requesting a number of nodes and
then set
--ntasks=40*#nodes
or
--ntasks=48*#nodes
depending on which partition gets selected by Slurm.
Can this be done?
An option similar to --ntasks=USE_ALL_CORES would be great.
Many thanks,
Richard
