[slurm-users] Limiting the number of CPU

[Sukman]

Hi Brian,

I see. Thank you for your suggestion.
I definitely will try it.

Anyway, I am now suffering a new problem.
The job cannot start because of "Resources" problem.

Would anyone help on this issue?


I previously enabled these options in Slurm.conf

SelectType=select/cons_res
SelectTypeParameters=CR_Core

However, since the job didn't work well by enabling those options, now those options are disabled again.
I then, restarted Slurm in both head node and compute node.


But, now when I run a job containing this script, the job is pending.

> the script

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=hostname
##sbatch --time=00:50
##sbatch --mem=10M
##SBATCH --nodes=1
##SBATCH --ntasks=1
##SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1
##SBATCH --cpus-per-task=1
##SBATCH --nodelist=cn110

srun hostname

Suksmandhira,
That qos specifies a walltime, cpu, and memory limit.  From the job script, it appears you are within the cpu limit.  But, the job script does not specify walltime nor memory and your squeue output is not showing those values (or cpu) for the job.
'scontrol show job=JOBID' will show it all values.  Added flags=DenyOnLimit to the qos will reject the job when it is over the limit of a QOS, hopefully so there are not jobs that will never run sitting in queue.
