<p><font face="Nimbus Roman No9 L">Dear All,</font></p>
<p><font face="Nimbus Roman No9 L">I have 360 cpu cores in my
cluster; 9 compute nodes with 20core x 2 sockets each.</font></p>
<p><font face="Nimbus Roman No9 L">I have slurm.18.08.7 version and
have multifactor (fair share) and backfill enabled.</font></p>
<p><font face="Nimbus Roman No9 L">I am running jobs with less
ntasks_per_node in the script and at some point all my compute
nodes are ALLOC (with overall 300 cores). but since I have not
used all the cores, around around 60 ntasks are still unused
(distributed all over the 9 nodes).</font></p>
<p><font face="Nimbus Roman No9 L">Question: how can I still submit
another job that gets those unused cores to run? I know the
status of all such nodes will be changed in MIX. so, what
options has to be tweaked in slurm.conf file.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Nimbus Roman No9 L">Currently the status shows
(Resources) as Reason for not getting in the scheduler.<br>
</font></p>
