sinfo: error: resolve_ctls_from_dns_srv: res_nsearch error: Unknown host
by Michael Lewis 26 Jan '24

26 Jan '24

Hi All, I’m trying to get slurm-23.11.3 running on Ubuntu 20.04 and running on a stand alone system. I’m running into an issue I can not find the answer to. After compiling and installing when I fire up slurmctld and slurmd I get an error from sinfo: sinfo: error: resolve_ctls_from_dns_srv: res_nsearch error: Unknown host sinfo: error: fetch_config: DNS SRV lookup failed sinfo: error: _establish_config_source: failed to fetch config sinfo: fatal: Could not establish a configuration … [View More]

Database cluster
by Daniel L'Hommedieu 26 Jan '24

26 Jan '24

Community: What do you do to ensure database reliability in your SLURM environment? We can have multiple controllers and multiple slurmdbds, but my understanding is that slurmdbd can be configured with a single MySQL server, so what do you do? Do you have that “single MySQL server” be a cluster, such as Percona XtraDB? Do you use MySQL replication, then manually switch to slurmdbd to a replication slave if the master goes down? Do you do something else? Thanks. Daniel

Problem using Podman with scrun on SLURM 23.11.3
by Marcus Lauer 25 Jan '24

25 Jan '24

I am getting an unusual error when trying to run Podman containers using scrun on SLURM 23.11.3 (and 23.11.1 previously). In short, Podman works when not configured to use scrun, but when configured to use scrun it fails. Podman gives this error: scrun: fatal: Unable to request job allocation: Job cannot be submitted without the current working directory specified. The slurmctld logs show this error: _slurm_rpc_allocate_resources: Job cannot be submitted without the current working … [View More]

Question about CPUs and cores
by Gestió Servidors 25 Jan '24

25 Jan '24

Hi, I want to run a simple test that uses one node and four cores. Also, in my script, I execute a binary that reports me in what core is running one of the four tasks. These are my files: * submit script: #!/bin/bash #SBATCH --job-name=test_jobs # Job name #SBATCH --output=test_job_%j.out # Output file (using array index) #SBATCH --error=test_job_%j.err # Error file (using array index) #SBATCH --ntasks=4 #SBATCH --ntasks-per-core=1 #SBATCH --cpus-per-task=1 … [View More] # Number of CPU cores per task echo "START : $(date)" srun -n1 -c1 check_cores >> output_small.txt & srun -n1 -c1 check_cores >> output_small.txt & srun -n1 -c1 check_cores >> output_small.txt & srun -n1 -c1 check_cores >> output_small.txt & # Wait for all jobs to finish before exiting the job submission script wait echo "END : $(date)" * check_cores.c file: #include <stdio.h> #include<unistd.h> struct pstat { int pid; //process id char tcomm[256];//filename of the executable char state[2]; //state (R is running, S is sleeping, D is sleeping in an //uninterruptible wait, Z is zombie, T is traced or stopped) int ppid;// process id of the parent process int pgrp;// pgrp of the process int sid;// session id int tty_nr;// tty the process uses int tty_pgrp;// pgrp of the tty int flags;// task flags int min_flt;// number of minor faults int cmin_flt;// number of minor faults with child's int maj_flt;// number of major faults int cmaj_flt;// number of major faults with child's int utime;// user mode jiffies int stime;// kernel mode jiffies int cutime;// user mode jiffies with child's int cstime;// kernel mode jiffies with child's int priority;// priority level int nice;// nice level int num_threads;// number of threads int it_real_value;// (obsolete, always 0) int start_time;// time the process started after system boot int vsize;// virtual memory size int rss;// resident set memory size int rsslim;// current limit in bytes on the rss int start_code;// address above which program text can run int end_code;// address below which program text can run int start_stack;// address of the start of the stack int esp;// current value of ESP int eip;// current value of EIP int pending;// bitmap of pending signals int blocked;// bitmap of blocked signals int sigign;// bitmap of ignored signals int sigcatch;// bitmap of catched signals int wchan;// address where process went to sleep int i0;// (place holder) int i1;// (place holder) int exit_signal;// signal to send to parent thread on exit int task_cpu;// which CPU the task is scheduled on int rt_priority;// realtime priority int policy;// scheduling policy (man sched_setscheduler) int blkio_ticks;// time spent waiting for block IO int gtime;// guest time of the task in jiffies int cgtime;// guest time of the task children in jiffies } p ; int main() { char name[256]; char state[8]; FILE* f = fopen("/proc/self/stat", "r"); char hostname[1024]; gethostname(hostname, 1024); fscanf(f, "%d%s%s%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d%d", &p.pid, &p.tcomm, &p.state, &p.ppid, &p.pgrp, &p.sid, &p.tty_nr, &p.tty_pgrp, &p.flags, &p.min_flt, &p.cmin_flt, &p.maj_flt, &p.cmaj_flt, &p.utime, &p.stime, &p.cutime, &p.cstime, &p.priority, &p.nice, &p.num_threads, &p.it_real_value, &p.start_time, &p.vsize, &p.rss, &p.rsslim, &p.start_code, &p.end_code, &p.start_stack, &p.esp, &p.eip, &p.pending, &p.blocked, &p.sigign, &p.sigcatch, &p.wchan, &p.i0, &p.i1, &p.exit_signal, &p.task_cpu, &p.rt_priority, &p.policy, &p.blkio_ticks, &p.gtime, &p.cgtime); sleep (15); printf("HOST %s\n", hostname); printf("CPU %d\n", p.task_cpu); return 0; } When I run this script, I should receive an output like this: HOST clus04.hpc.local CPU 0 HOST clus04.hpc.local CPU 7 HOST clus04.hpc.local CPU 1 HOST clus04.hpc.local CPU 6 because system has scheduled my job in node "clus04.hpc.local" (a node with two 6-cores processors) and has reserved cores 0-1 of each processor. However, the real output I receive is HOST clus04.hpc.local CPU 1 HOST clus04.hpc.local CPU 1 HOST clus04.hpc.local CPU 1 HOST clus04.hpc.local CPU 6 (and others outputs where there are one CPU repeated), so it seems SLURMs is reserving correctly four cores but, then, process is running two or more times in the same core.

Slurm version 23.11.3 is now available
by Tim McMullan 24 Jan '24

24 Jan '24

We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm version 23.11.3. The 23.11.3 fixes a single issue related to the new Debian package support. For 23.11.2, the debian changelog was not updated correctly and would generate packages as 23.11.1. This release will correctly generate 23.11.3 packages, with no other changes. Slurm can be downloaded from https://www.schedmd.com/downloads.php . -Tim > * Changes in Slurm 23.11.3 > ========================== > -- Fix debian/… [View More]

Many thanks One question? Do we have to apply this patch (and recompile slurm i guess) only on the compute-node with problems? Also, I noticed the patch now appears as "obsolete", is that ok?

slurm-config on NFS-volume
by Werf, C.G. van der (Carel) 24 Jan '24

24 Jan '24

Hi, Among other clusters, I have a simple cluster with 2 nodes, running slurm. 1 node runs : mysqld, slurmdbd, slurmctld and slurmd. The other node, only runs slurmd. Slurm config is in node1: /etc/slurm. A copy of the config is in node2:/etc/slurm. This slurm configuration runs ok. But, as I am normally used to configure on a shared location, where there is only 1 copy of the config, I tried to change the current setup by moving the slurm-config to a shared (NFS) disk. So on both nodes : /… [View More]

GPU devices mapping with job's cgroup in cgroups v2 using eBPF
by Mahendra Paipuri 23 Jan '24

23 Jan '24

Hello all, Happy new year! We have recently upgraded the cgroups on our SLURM cluster to v2. In cgroups v1, the interface `/devices.list` used to have the information of which device has been attached to that particular cgroup. From my understanding, cgroups v2 use eBPF to manage devices and so as SLURM to manage the GPUs. I was looking for a way to be able to programatically determine the job cgroups to device mapping and I came across this thread ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?… [View More]id=1717396) which has a similar discussion in the context of VMs. So, I have used `bpftool` to inspect the job cgroups. An example output: ``` # /tmp/bpftool cgroup list /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/slurmstepd.scope/job_1956132 ID AttachType AttachFlags Name ``` When I add `effective` flag, I see the attached eBPF program ``` # /tmp/bpftool cgroup list /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/slurmstepd.scope/job_1956132 effective ID AttachType Name 4197 cgroup_device Slurm_Cgroup_v2 ``` >From my understand, `effective` flag shows the inherited eBPF programs as well. So, my question is at which level of cgroups the eBPF program is attached? I tried to inspect at various levels but all of them returned none. Then looking into translated byte code of eBPF program, I get the following ``` # /tmp/bpftool prog dump xlated id 4197 0: (61) r2 = *(u32 *)(r1 +0) 1: (54) w2 &= 65535 2: (61) r3 = *(u32 *)(r1 +0) 3: (74) w3 >>= 16 4: (61) r4 = *(u32 *)(r1 +4) 5: (61) r5 = *(u32 *)(r1 +8) 6: (55) if r2 != 0x2 goto pc+4 7: (55) if r4 != 0xc3 goto pc+3 8: (55) if r5 != 0x0 goto pc+2 9: (b7) r0 = 0 10: (95) exit 11: (55) if r2 != 0x2 goto pc+4 12: (55) if r4 != 0xc3 goto pc+3 13: (55) if r5 != 0x1 goto pc+2 14: (b7) r0 = 0 15: (95) exit 16: (55) if r2 != 0x2 goto pc+4 17: (55) if r4 != 0xc3 goto pc+3 18: (55) if r5 != 0x2 goto pc+2 19: (b7) r0 = 0 20: (95) exit 21: (55) if r2 != 0x2 goto pc+4 22: (55) if r4 != 0xc3 goto pc+3 23: (55) if r5 != 0x3 goto pc+2 24: (b7) r0 = 1 25: (95) exit 26: (b7) r0 = 1 27: (95) exit ``` >From the output, it is clear that GPU:3 (among 0,1,2,3) is the one that is attached to that job's cgroup. However, I was looking for a way to dump eBPF maps that can directly provide the major, minor numbers and permissions of device as discussed in the comment (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1717396#c5). When I inspect eBPF program, I dont see any maps associated. ``` # /tmp/bpftool prog list id 4197 4197: cgroup_device name Slurm_Cgroup_v2 tag 1a261c8a913ff67c gpl loaded_at 2024-01-02T08:19:56+0100 uid 0 xlated 224B jited 142B memlock 4096B ``` So, my second question is how can I get a similar information as `map dump` that can give us the device's major minor numbers directly instead of parsing the byte code from `prog dump`? I am still discovering the eBPF ecosystem so if I am missing something very obvious, please let me know. I would really appreciate that. Cheers! Regards Mahendra [View Less]

Hi, I have filed a bug report with SchedMD (https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18623), but the support told me they cannot invest time in this issue since I don't have a support contract.

Need help with running multiple instances/executions of a batch script in parallel (with NVIDIA HGX A100 GPU as a Gres)
by Kherfani, Hafedh (Professional Services, TC) 23 Jan '24

23 Jan '24

Hello Experts, I'm a new Slurm user (so please bare with me :) ...). Recently we've deployed Slurm version 23.11 on a very simple cluster, which consists of a Master node (acting as a Login & Slurmdbd node as well), a Compute Node which has a NVIDIA HGX A100-SXM4-40GB GPU, detected as 4 x GPU's: GPU [0-4], and a Storage Array presenting/sharing the NFS disk (where users' home directories will be created as well). The problem is that I've never been able to run a simple/dummy batch script … [View More]in a parallel way using the 4 GPU's. In fact, running the same command "sbatch gpu-job.sh" multiple times shows that only one single job is running, while the other jobs are in a pending state: [slurmtest@c-a100-master test-batch-scripts]$ sbatch gpu-job.sh Submitted batch job 214 [slurmtest@c-a100-master test-batch-scripts]$ sbatch gpu-job.sh Submitted batch job 215 [slurmtest@c-a100-master test-batch-scripts]$ sbatch gpu-job.sh Submitted batch job 216 [slurmtest@c-a100-master test-batch-scripts]$ squeue JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME NODES NODELIST(REASON) 216 gpu gpu-job slurmtest PD 0:00 1 (None) 215 gpu gpu-job slurmtest PD 0:00 1 (Priority) 214 gpu gpu-job slurmtest PD 0:00 1 (Priority) 213 gpu gpu-job slurmtest PD 0:00 1 (Priority) 212 gpu gpu-job slurmtest PD 0:00 1 (Resources) 211 gpu gpu-job slurmtest R 0:14 1 c-a100-cn01 PS: CPU jobs (i.e. using the default debug partition, without call the GPU Gres) can be run in parallel. The issue with running parallel jobs is only seen when using the GPU's as Gres. I've tried many combinations of settings in gres.conf and slurm.conf, many (if not most) of these combinations would result in error messages in slurmctld and slurmd logs. The current gres.conf and slurm.conf contents is shown below. Even though it doesn't give errors when restarting slurmctld and slurmd services (on master and compute nodes, resp.), but as I said, it doesn't allow jobs to be executed in parallel. Batch script contents shared below as well, in order to give more clarity on what I'm trying to do: [root@c-a100-master slurm]# cat gres.conf | grep -v "^#" NodeName=c-a100-cn01 AutoDetect=nvml Name=gpu Type=A100 File=/dev/nvidia[0-3] [root@c-a100-master slurm]# cat slurm.conf | grep -v "^#" | egrep -i "AccountingStorageTRES|GresTypes|NodeName|partition" GresTypes=gpu AccountingStorageTRES=gres/gpu NodeName=c-a100-cn01 Gres=gpu:A100:4 CPUs=64 Boards=1 SocketsPerBoard=1 CoresPerSocket=32 ThreadsPerCore=2 RealMemory=515181 State=UNKNOWN PartitionName=debug Nodes=ALL Default=YES MaxTime=INFINITE State=UP PartitionName=gpu Nodes=ALL MaxTime=10:0:0 [slurmtest@c-a100-master test-batch-scripts]$ cat gpu-job.sh #!/bin/bash #SBATCH --job-name=gpu-job #SBATCH --partition=gpu #SBATCH --nodes=1 #SBATCH --gpus-per-node=4 #SBATCH --gres=gpu:4 #SBATCH --tasks-per-node=1 #SBATCH --output=gpu_job_output.%j # Output file name (replaces %j with job ID) #SBATCH --error=gpu_job_error.%j # Error file name (replaces %j with job ID) hostname date sleep 40 pwd Any help on which changes need to be made to the config files (mainly slurm.conf and gres.cong) and/or the batch script, so that multiple jobs can be in a "Running" state at the same time (in parallel) ? Thanks in advance for your help ! Best regards, Hafedh Kherfani [View Less]

propose environment variables SLURM_STDOUT, SLURM_STDERR, SLURM_STDIN
by urbanjost 22 Jan '24

22 Jan '24

RE: Placing the full pathname of the job stdout in an environment variable Would others find it useful if new variables were added that contained the full pathnames of the standard input, error and input files of batch jobs? ## SYNOPSIS Proposed new environment variables SLURM_STDOUT,SLURM_STDERR, and SLURM_STDIN pointing to the full pathnames of the output, error output, and input files of a task would be a useful feature for batch jobs in particular. ## PROBLEM There are cases where it … [View More]is desirable to have a job process the standard files (stdin, stdout, stderr) from a batch job from within the job instead of later via an epilog or via post-processing. Just a few examples where the job might want to reference the full pathname of stdout: * copy the file to a remote machine (via scp(1), for example) * move the file from local or scratch space to permanent globally accessible storage * remove the file depending on completion status * mail the output * archive it * post-process it Slurm commands like scontrol(1) and squeue(1) can help you locate the file names. But the names returned do not always expand all the macros allowed when specifying the names, and require calling a Slurm command (which might overload Slurm if millions of jobs are submitted or cause problems if Slurm is not responding for any reason(?)). For example: #!/bin/bash # Minimalist submit script for sbatch(1) #SBATCH --nodes 1-1 --ntasks=1 --time 0-0:1:00 --chdir=/tmp #SBATCH --output=stdout.%j #SBATCH --error=stderr.%A:%a:%J:%j:%N:%n:%s:%t:%u.out # query filenames via squeue(1) export SLURM_STDOUT=$(squeue --noheader --Format=STDOUT: --job=$SLURM_JOBID) export SLURM_STDERR=$(squeue --noheader --Format=STDERR: --job=$SLURM_JOBID) # PS: Current documentation for squeue(1) does not explicitly tell the # user a null size works. # query filenames via scontrol(1) declare -x $(scontrol show job=$SLURM_JOBID|grep StdOut) declare -x $(scontrol show job=$SLURM_JOBID|grep StdErr) cat <<EOF SLURM_STDOUT=$SLURM_STDOUT SLURM_STDERR=$SLURM_STDERR StdOut=$StdOut StdErr=$StdErr EOF ls stdout.* stderr.* The resulting output shows either none or some macros are expanded by the commands (and I am not sure all commands will always return a full pathname(?)) SLURM_STDOUT=/home/urbanjs/venus/V600/stdout.%j SLURM_STDERR=/home/urbanjs/venus/V600/stderr.%A:%a:%J:%j:%N:%n:%s:%t:%u.out StdOut=/home/urbanjs/venus/V600/stdout.96 StdErr=/home/urbanjs/venus/V600/stderr.96:4294967294:%J:96:%N:%n:%s:%t:urbanjs.out stderr.96:4294967294:96:96:mercury:0:4294967294:0:urbanjs.out stdout.96 One currently available work-around would be that the user just avoid the filename macros and always specify the filenames using a standard convention (which would obviously have to be specific to a specific platform). This is error-prone as it requires the user to strictly follow a protocol where the pathnames are specified that can be overridden by command-line options on sbatch(1) and so-on. Alternatively instead of the new environment variables Slurm could have a command option that returns the fully expanded names always expanding the macros. But if you query Slurm you have to worry about scaleability. Is it OK for a 100 000, jobs to query Slurm simulataneously via squeue(1) or scontrol(1)? What happens if for external reasons the Slurm daemons are down or not responding? As a current work-around using commands like realpath(1), stat(1), ls(1),find(1),and getting pids with fuser(1), pidof(1), and ps(1) become attractive. I find using the realpath(1) command at the top of the job and $SLURM_TASK_ID works the best. realpath(1) may not be available on all platforms(?) as well as the /proc/$PID/fd/1 file, in which case the other commands might be used to the same effect but it would be nice to have a simple standard way that does not require calling a command. The proposed environment variables seem the most obvious solution. # do this early in the job in case the user changes or closes # file descriptor 1 ... export SLURM_STDOUT=$(realpath /proc/$SLURM_TASK_PID/fd/1) # create softlink OUTPUT to stdout of job ln -s -f $SLURM_STDOUT OUTPUT # now user can do things like mailx(1) or scp(1) the OUTPUT file. Other reasons I might want to know the stdout pathname are to minimize network traffic and filespace on central servers. I might specify the output of a job goes to scratch or local storage or a memory-resident file system and move it all to a location on another system or a long-term archive instead of a central area that might be filled by other jobs or that I have a quota on, etc. So since the stdout might not be easily accessible from my other sessions also having something like "scontrol write batch_stdout=$SLURM_JOBID" that shows the stdout of the job would also be useful. Note the LSF job scheduler bpeek(1) command allows for a tail(1)-like interface to the job stdout to support the stdout not being accessible from all system access points, just as described. The current situation where in typical usage the output file is often in a globally mounted area and I can just access it from other nodes with grep(1), tail(1), and so on covers many users needs in simple cluster configurations; but there are several scenarios as described above primarily encountered by people running many thousands of single-node jobs where assigning output to a local scratch device and then selectively processing at job termination is preferable. As mentioned, those users can specify such a local name with "#SBATCH --output" and then, knowing it, process it as desired but having something like $SLURM_STDOUT being the full pathname to the file is much more generic. ## SUMMARY So adding the variables creates an ability for users to reliably access the standard files of a job with a low-load scalable method; and being a SLURM_* module it could be much more reliably accessed via prolog and epilog scripts and module(1) scripts as well. ## PS: Related to this would be instead of just --chdir a --mkdir and --scratch #SBATCH option would be useful that expanded file macros that would be similar to --chdir but would make sure the directory existed (using only user privelages) and a --scratch that would do the same as --mkdir but remove the directory at job termination. urbanjs@mercury:~/SLURM/proposals$ Sent with [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/) secure email.

Tried setting up GANG scheduling for timeslicing, but jobs are not alternating

22 Jan '24

I'm trying to set up GANG scheduling with Slurm on my single-node server so the people at the lab can run experiments without blocking each other (so if say someone has to run some code that takes days to finish, other jobs that take less have the chance to run alternated with it and so they don't have to wait days until they can run) I followed the GANG scheduling slurm.conf setup tutorial on the slurm website, and to check if it's working properly I launched a bunch of jobs that print the … [View More]current time and then sleep for a while. But when I check squeue, the jobs never alternate, they run sequentially one after the other. Why is this happening? Here's my slurm.conf file: # See the slurm.conf man page for more information. ClusterName=localcluster SlurmctldHost=localhost ProctrackType=proctrack/linuxproc ReturnToService=1 SlurmctldPidFile=/var/run/slurmctld.pid SlurmctldPort=6817 SlurmdPidFile=/var/run/slurmd.pid SlurmdPort=6818 SlurmdSpoolDir=/var/lib/slurm/slurmd SlurmUser=slurm StateSaveLocation=/var/lib/slurm/slurmctld TaskPlugin=task/none # TIMERS InactiveLimit=0 KillWait=30 MinJobAge=300 SlurmctldTimeout=120 SlurmdTimeout=300 Waittime=0 # SCHEDULING #Seteado para que cada laburo alterne cada 15 segundos SchedulerTimeSlice=15 SchedulerType=sched/builtin SelectType=select/linear SelectTypeParameters=CR_Memory PreemptMode=GANG # LOGGING AND ACCOUNTING JobCompType=jobcomp/none JobAcctGatherFrequency=30 SlurmctldDebug=info SlurmctldLogFile=/var/log/slurm/slurmctld.log SlurmdDebug=info SlurmdLogFile=/var/log/slurm/slurmd.log # COMPUTE NODES NodeName=lab04 CPUs=48 CoresPerSocket=12 ThreadsPerCore=2 State=UNKNOWN RealMemory=257249 PartitionName=LocalQ Nodes=ALL Default=YES MaxTime=INFINITE State=UP OverSubscribe=FORCE:6 DefMemPerNode=257249 MaxMemPerNode=257249 >From what I understand, SchedulerTimeSlice=15 means that jobs should alternate running every 15 seconds.

Am I misunderstanding how GANG scheduling works, or is the a problem in my conf file? [View Less]

MIG-Slice: Unavailable GRES

Hi, We are testing the MIG deployment on our new slurm compute node with 4 x H100 GPUs. It looks like everything is configured correctly but we have a problem accessing mig devices. When I submit jobs requesting a mig gpu device #SBATCH --gres=gpu:H100_1g.10gb:1, the jobs get submitted to the node, but only 4 jobs get executed and all other jobs fail. I was able to "solve it" by adding code to submit to the mig device UUID. Am I missing something in the slurm/gres/cgroups configuration that … [View More]would automatically assign correct CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES MIG UUID to the job? If I submit 10 jobs requesting --gres=gpu:H100_1g.10gb:1 8 jobs start running: #1 - CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 - jobs 1-4 run on one of the mig devices configured on GPU-device ... #8 - CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=7 - jobs 5-8 fail with the message that there are no available CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES ... #10 - CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=? - after waiting for free mig resources jobs 9-10 runs or fails depending if GPU-device is free (migs are free) $ nvidia-smi --query-gpu=uuid --id=0 --format=csv,noheader GPU-6c7f34eb-7b0b-9b09-4a2a-a009fb1ba6d3 $ nvidia-smi --query-gpu=uuid --id=7 --format=csv,noheader No devices were found The slurm assigns CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES numbers based on the requested resources: Request: gpu:H100_1g.10gb:1 - CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 gpu:H100_1g.10gb:2 - CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 ...

Is there a way to map Azure AD users to NIS?
by Ben Wellborn 20 Jan '24

20 Jan '24

In the past, we would connect AD to NIS users using Centrify and adnisd, but I don't think adnisd can connect to Azure AD (HCI stack). Thanks, Ben

Re: [slurm-users] Need help with running multiple instances/executions of a batch script in parallel (with NVIDIA HGX A100 GPU as a Gres)

If you run "scontrol show jobid <jobid>" of your pending job with the "(Resources)" tag you may see more about what is unavailable to your job. Slurm default configs can cause an entire compute node of resources to be "allocated" to a running job regardless of whether it needs all of them or not so you may need to alter one or both of the following settings to allow more than one job to run on a single node at once. You'll find these in your slurm.conf. Don't forget to "scontrol reconf"… [View More] and even potentially restart both "slurmctld" & "slurmd" on your nodes if you do end up making changes. SelectType=select/cons_tres SelectTypeParameters=CR_Core_Memory I hope this helps.

Hi all, I am having some issue with the new version of slurm 23.11.0-1. I had already installed and configured slurm 23.02.3-1 on my cluster and all the services were active and running properly. After I install with the same procedure the new version of slurm I have that the slurmctld and slurmdbd daemons fail to start all with the same error: (code=exited, status=217/USER) And investigating the problem with the command journalctl -xe I find: slurmctld.service: Failed to determine user … [View More]

Jobs exiting together

Recently, i have built an hpc cluster with slurm as workload. The test jobs with quatum chemistry codes have worked fine. However, production jobs with lammps have shown an unexpected behavior when the first job completed, normally or not, cause the termination of the others in the same compute node. Initially, I thought that was due to mpi malfunction, but this behavior is algo observed for serial lammps code. The lammps group said to me that behavior could be generated by slurm. My … [View More]

Running slurm job on requested nvidia mig device
by Dražen Jalšovec 18 Jan '24

Hi, We are testing the MIG deployment on our new slurm compute node with 4 x H100 GPUs. It looks like everything is configured correctly but we have a problem accessing mig devices. When I submit jobs requesting a mig gpu device #SBATCH --gres=gpu:H100_1g.10gb:1, the jobs get submitted to the node, but only 4 jobs get executed and all other jobs fail. I was able to "solve it" by adding code to submit to the mig device UUID. Am I missing something in the slurm/gres/cgroups configuration that … [View More]would automatically assign correct CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES MIG UUID to the job? If I submit 10 jobs requesting --gres=gpu:H100_1g.10gb:1 8 jobs start running: #1 - CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 - jobs 1-4 run on one of the mig devices configured on GPU-device ... #8 - CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=7 - jobs 5-8 fail with the message that there are no available CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES ... #10 - CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=? - after waiting for free mig resources jobs 9-10 runs or fails depending if GPU-device is free (migs are free) $ nvidia-smi --query-gpu=uuid --id=0 --format=csv,noheader GPU-6c7f34eb-7b0b-9b09-4a2a-a009fb1ba6d3 $ nvidia-smi --query-gpu=uuid --id=7 --format=csv,noheader No devices were found The slurm assigns CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES numbers based on the requested resources: Request: gpu:H100_1g.10gb:1 - CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 gpu:H100_1g.10gb:2 - CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 ...

Hi, What are potential bad side effects of using a large/larger MessageTimeout? And is there a value at which this setting is too large (long)? Thanks, Herc

If you run "scontrol show jobid <jobid>" of your pending job with the "(Resources)" tag you may see more about what is unavailable to your job. Slurm default configs can cause an entire compute node of resources to be "allocated" to a running job regardless of whether it needs all of them or not so you may need to alter one or both of the following settings to allow more than one job to run on a single node at once. You'll find these in your slurm.conf. Don't forget to "scontrol reconf"… [View More] and even potentially restart both "slurmctld" & "slurmd" on your nodes if you do end up making changes. SelectType=select/cons_tres SelectTypeParameters=CR_Core_Memory I hope this helps.

You have defined 4 GPUs and start multiple jobs each consuming 4 GPUs each. So the jobs wait for the ressource the be free again. I think what you need to look into is the MPS plugin, which seems to do what you are trying to achieve: https://slurm.schedmd.com/gres.html#MPS_Management<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/slurm.schedmd.com/gres.html*MPS_Manageme…> I agree with the first paragraph. How many GPUs are you expecting each job to use? I'd have assumed, based on the original text, that each job is supposed to use 1 GPU, and the 4 jobs were supposed to be running side-by-side on the one node you have (with 4 GPUs). If so, you need to tell each job to request only 1 GPU, and currently each one is requesting 4. If your jobs are actually supposed to be using 4 GPUs each, I still don't see any advantage to MPS (at least in what is my usual GPU usage pattern): all the jobs will take longer to finish, because they are sharing the fixed resource. If they take turns, at least the first ones finish as fast as they can, and the last one will finish no later than it would have if they were all time-sharing the GPUs. I guess NVIDIA had something in mind when they developed MPS, so I guess our pattern may not be typical (or at least not universal), and in that case the MPS plugin may well be what you need.

What happens if GPU GRES exceeding number of GPUs per node

Hi, In my HPC center, I found a SLURM job that was submitted with --gres=gpu:6 whereas the cluster has only four GPUs per node each. It is a parallel job. Here are some relevant field printout: AllocCPUS 30 AllocGRES gpu:6 AllocTRES billing=30,cpu=30,gres/gpu=6,node=3 CPUTime 1-01:23:00 CPUTimeRAW 91380 Elapsed 00:50:46 … [View More]

Strict GrpTRESMins limit
by Kamil Wilczek 17 Jan '24

17 Jan '24

Dear All, I tried to implement a strict limit on the GrpTRESMins for each user. The effect I'm trying to achieve is that after the limit of GPU minutes is reached, no new jobs can be run. No decay, no automatic resource replenishment. After the limit on GPU minutes is reached, each user should ask for more minutes. But despite exceeding the limits users *can* run new jobs. * When I'm adding a user to the cluster I set: sacctmgr --immediate add user name=... ... QOS=2gpu2d … [View More]

preemptable queue
by Davide DelVento 12 Jan '24

12 Jan '24

I would like to add a preemptable queue to our cluster. Actually I already have. We simply want jobs submitted to that queue be preempted if there are no resources available for jobs in other (high priority) queues. Conceptually very simple, no conditionals, no choices, just what I wrote. However it does not work as desired. This is the relevant part: grep -i Preemp /opt/slurm/slurm.conf #PreemptType = preempt/partition_prio PartitionName=regular DefMemPerCPU=4580 Default=True Nodes=node[01-… [View More]

> All I can say is that this has to do with --starttime and that you have to read the manual really carefully about how they interact, including when you have --endtime set. It’s a bit fiddly and annoying, IMO, and I can never quite remember how it works. Oh, I think I understand. --starttime actually behaves differently when --state is present: If states are given with the '-s' option then only jobs in this state at this time will be returned.

Beginner admin question: Prioritization within a partition based on time limit
by Kenneth Chiu 09 Jan '24

09 Jan '24

I'm just learning about slurm. I understand that different different partitions can be prioritized separately, and can have different max time limits. I was wondering whether or not there was a way to have a finer-grained prioritization based on the time limit specified by a job, within a single partition. Or perhaps this is already happening by default? Would the backfill scheduler be best for this?

Multifactor fair-share with single account
by Kamil Wilczek 08 Jan '24

Dear All, I have a question regarding the fair-share factor of the multifactor priority algorithm. My current understanding is that the fair-share makes sure that different *accounts* have a fair share of the computational power. But what if my organisation structure is flat and I have only one account where all my user reside. Is fair-share algorithm working in this situation -- does it take into account users (associations) from this single account, and tries to assing a fair-factor to each … [View More]

A fairshare policy that spans multiple clusters
by David Baker 05 Jan '24

Hello, We are soon to install new Slurm cluster at our site. That means that we will have a total of three clusters running Slurm. Only two, that is the new clusters, will share a common file system. The original cluster has its own file system is independent of the new arrivals. If possible, we would like to try to prevent users from making significant user of all the clusters and get a 'triple whammy'. In other words, is there any way to share the fairshare information between the clusters … [View More]
