It may be difficult to narrow down the problem without knowing what commands you're running inside the salloc session. For example, if it's a pure OpenMP program, it can't use more than one node. ________________________________ From: Sundaram Kumaran via slurm-users slurm-users@lists.schedmd.com Sent: Friday, August 9, 2024 7:10:16 AM To: slurm-users@schedmd.com slurm-users@schedmd.com Subject: [slurm-users] The issue in the distribution of job

Dear All,

May I have your suggestion in my issue facing,

While the job is launched using “salloc -N4--mem 4000 -p active” I find the job is running in the one compute node and the other 3 machines are free, I don`t find the job is distributed evenly, May I have your suggestion,

I do squeue /scontrol to find the job distribution and it displays the 4 machines but when I check on the respective machines I don`t find the job running only one machine takes the whole node,

Is there any issue in my conf file or what needs to be done, May I have your suggestion pls.

FYI, salloc -N4 --mem 4000 -p active
