Hi Patrick,
You're missing a Gres= on your node in your slurm.conf:
Nodename=tenibre-gpu-0 RealMemory=257270 Sockets=2 CoresPerSocket=16 ThreadsPerCore=1 State=UNKNOWN Gres=gpu:A100-40:1,gpu:A100-80:1

srun -n 1 -p tenibre-gpu ./a.out
can use a GPU even if the reservation do not specify this resource (checked with running nvidia-smi on the node). "tenibre-gpu" is a slurm partition with only this gpu node.
I think what you're looking for is the ConstrainDevices parameter in cgroup.conf.

Best,
Hi Roberto,
thanks for pointing to this parameter. I set it, update all the nodes, restart slurmd everywhere but it does not change the behavior. However, when looking in the slurmd log on the GPU node I notice this information:

So something is wrong in may gres.conf file I think as I ttry do configure 2 different devices on the node may be?
