[slurm-users] [External] Defining a default --nodes=1

[Michael Robbert]

Manuel,

You may want to instruct your users to use ‘-c’ or ‘—cpus-per-task’ to define the number of cpus that they need. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that will restrict the jobs to a singe node whereas ‘-n’ or ‘—ntasks’ is really for multi process jobs which can be spread amongst multiple nodes. 

 

Mike

Dear all,

 

we're running a cluster where the large majority of jobs will use multi-threading and no message passing. Sometimes CPU>1 jobs are scheduled to run on more than one node (which would be fine for MPI jobs of course...)

 

Is it possible to automatically set "--nodes=1" for all jobs outside of the "mpi" partition (that we setup for message passing jobs)?

 

Thank you,

Manuel
