Hi,

Could --exclusive ( https://slurm.schedmd.com/sbatch.html#OPT_exclusive ) do the trick?

Objet: [slurm-users] Shared queue: how to request full node with all resources?

Hi,

With a partition with "OverSubscribe=FORCE" set, is there a way to request all the node resources?  I see "--mem=0" does that for memory.  But I do not see an option to request all the CPUs and GRES/TRES such as GPUs.  I tried "--nodes=1 --ntasks=1 --cpus-per-task=0", but "--cpus-per-task=0" does not do the same thing as "--mem=0".

In other words, is it possible to have a queue where nodes can be shared between jobs, but have a simple way for an sbatch script to request the full node with all its memory, cpus, and other resources?  We have a heterogeneous cluster, so telling users (or jupyterhub scripts) to list exactly the resources they want doesn't really work.

thanks,
dustin
