Either allocate the whole node's cores or the whole node's memory? Both
will allocate the node exclusively for you.
So you'll need to know what a node looks like. For a homogeneous
cluster, this is straightforward. For a heterogeneous cluster, you may
also need to specify a nodelist for say those 28 core nodes and then
those 64 core nodes.
But going back to the original answer, --exclusive, is the answer here.
You DO know how many cores you need right? (Scaling study should give
you that). And you DO know the memory footprint by past jobs with
similar inputs I hope.

Hello, maybe rephrase the question to fill a whole node ?

On the one hand, you say you want "to allocate a whole node for a single multi-threaded
process," but on the other you say you want to allow it to "share nodes with other
running jobs." Those seem like mutually exclusive requirements.

Hello, I'm testing it right now and it's working pretty well in a
normal situation, but that's not exactly what I want. --exclusive
documentation says that the job allocation cannot share nodes with
other running jobs, but I want to allow it to do so, if that's
unavoidable. Are there other ways to configure it ?
The current parameters I'm testing:
sbatch -N 1 --exclusive --ntasks-per-node=1 --mem=0 pz-train.batch

In part, it depends on how it's been configured, but have you tried --exclusive?
