[slurm-users] Slurm 1 CPU

Also.. just to add.

If you are using Bright, the easiest way to fix your core count issue is to use the cmsh command, go to the node definition; roles; slurmclient and then edit the appropriate fields (details are in the manual).

This will populate the slurm.conf with the corrected node definitions.

You may want to use pdsh and execute the following:

pdsh -w node-[01-20] slurmd -C | grep -v UpTime |sort

It should tell you the correct settings to use in the node- definitions above.

Similarly, in Bright, you should set the default mem per cpu setting for your partitions / queue. Once you do that...your other problem should be sorted as well.

Hi Chris,

re: "can't run more than 1 job per node at a time.  "

try "scontrol show config" and grep for defmem

IIRC by default the memory request for any job is all the memory in a node.

Regards,
Alex

in slurm.conf, on the line(s) starting "NodeName=", you'll want to add specs for sockets, cores, and threads/core.

Subject: [slurm-users] Slurm 1 CPU
I should start out by saying that I am extremely new to anything HPC.  Our end users purchased a 20 node cluster which a vendor set up for us with Bright/Slurm.

After our vendor said everything was complete and we started migrating our users workflow to the new cluster they discovered that they can't run more than 1 job per node at a time.  We started researching enabling consumable resources which I believe we've done so however we're getting the same result.

I've just discovered today that both scontrol show node and sinfo -lNe show that each of our nodes have 1 CPU.  I'm guessing that's why we can't submit more than 1 job at a time.  I'm trying to determine where is it getting this information and how can I get it to display the correct CPU information.

Sample info:

I can provide other configs if you feel that it could help.

Any ideas?  I would have thought that slurm would grab the CPU information from the CPU instead of the configuration.

Thanks
Chris
