Every job will need at least 1 core just to run and if there are only 4 cores on the machine, one would expect a max of 4 jobs to run.
I have 3500+ GPU cores available. You mean each GPU job requires at least one CPU? Can't we run a job with just GPU without any CPUs? This sbatch script requires 100 GPU cores, can;t we run 35 in parallel?
#! /usr/bin/env bash
#SBATCH --output="%j.out" #SBATCH --error="%j.error" #SBATCH --partition=pgpu #SBATCH --gres=shard:100
sleep 10 echo "Current date and time: $(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")" echo "Running..." sleep 10

Well, if I am reading this right, it makes sense.

I have a machine with a quad-core CPU and an Nvidia GPU with 3500+ cores. I want to run around 10 jobs in parallel on the GPU (mostly are CUDA based jobs).
PROBLEM: Each job asks for only 100 shards (runs usually for a minute or so), then I should be able to run 3500/100 = 35 jobs in parallel but slurm runs only 4 jobs in parallel keeping the rest in the queue.
I have this in slurm.conf and gres.conf:
