<div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Slurm Community,</div><div><br></div><div>We recognize that the SlurmdTimeout has a default value of 300 seconds, and that if the controller is unable to communicate with a node during that time it will mark it down. We have two questions regarding this:</div><div><br></div><div>1. Won't also individual compute nodes kill their own jobs if they aren't able to communicate with a controller in so many minutes? If so, is that controlled by the same SlurmdTimeout or is that a different timeout parameter?</div><div><br></div><div>2. Are there any major scheduling or performance implications to increasing these values, aside from the obvious potential to schedule a job on a node that is down?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks so much,<br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="color:rgb(7,55,99)"><font size="2">____</font></span></span><span style="color:rgb(7,55,99)"><font size="2"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">_____</span></span></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">__________</span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">__________</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">__________</span></span></span></span></span></span>_____</span></span>______<br><b>Jacob D. Chappell, CSM</b><br>Research Computing | Research Computing Infrastructure<br>Information Technology Services | University of Kentucky<br><a href="mailto:jacob.chappell@uky.edu" target="_blank">jacob.chappell@uky.edu</a><br></span></font></span></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
