We basically have two types of jobs - ones that require entire nodes, and ones that do not. An additional (minor) complication is that the nodes have hyperthreading enabled, but we want (usually) to use only one task per physical core (in both kinds of jobs). What's the best way to request resources from sbatch to ensure this happens? Would the following produce this effect?<div class=""><br class=""></div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class=""><div class="">entire node: --nodes=number_of_nodes --tasks_per_node=number_of_cores_per_node</div></blockquote><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class=""><div class="">partial node: --ntasks=total_number_of_tasks --tasks-per-core=1</div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If not, is there another way to do this? </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">And however we achieve this, how does slurm decide what order to assign nodes to jobs in the presence of jobs that don't take entire nodes. If we have a 2 16 core nodes and two 8 task jobs, are they going to be packed into a single node, or each on its own node (leaving no free node for another 16 task job that requires an entire node)?</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>thanks,</div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Noam</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
