According to https://slurm.schedmd.com/srun.html#OPT_cpu-bind, you may
want to use "srun --exclusive":

    By default, a job step has access to every CPU allocated to the
job. To ensure that distinct CPUs are allocated to each job step, use
the --exclusive option.

I agree that the option could be named better, especially since it has
a completely different meaning when used with sbatch, for instance.

Cheers,
