[slurm-users] Slurm Reporting Difference between sreport and sacct

Hi all,

I was wondering if someone can help explaining this discrepancy.

I have different values for project gpu consumption using sreport vs sacct (+ some calculations)

This is an example that shows this:

sreport -t hours -T gres/gpu cluster AccountUtilizationByuser start=2025-04-01 end=2025-04-05 | grep project1234 gives 178 while sacct -n -X --allusers --accounts=project1234 --start=2025-04-01 --end=2025-04-05 -o elapsedraw,AllocTRES%80,user,partition

gives 213480 billing=128,cpu=128,gres/gpu=8,mem=1000G,node=2 gpuplus 249507 billing=128,cpu=128,gres/gpu=8,mem=1000G,node=2 gpuplus 13908 billing=64,cpu=64,gres/gpu=4,mem=500G,node=1 gpuplus 9552 billing=64,cpu=64,gres/gpu=4,mem=500G,node=1 gpuplus 4 billing=16,cpu=16,gres/gpu=1,mem=200G,node=1 gpu 11 billing=16,cpu=16,gres/gpu=1,mem=200G,node=1 gpu ...

I will not bore you with the full output and its calculation, but the first job alone consumed 213480 seconds/60/60 * 8 gpus that's 474.4 gpu hours which is way more than the 178 hrs reported by sreport

Any clue why these are inconsistent? or how sreport calculated the 178 value?

All the best, Passant
