[slurm-users] Auto-select partition?

[Renfro, Michael]

Depends on the version of Slurm. The docs for 17.11 [1] shows using packjob, and the docs for the current version (20.02 as of this writing) [2] shows using hetjob. It's really easy to wind up on documentation later than your running version, since only the top-level documentation page [3] mentions the archive [4] for older versions.

    I found what was wrong. The line

    should have been

    #SBATCH packjob

    Is it an error in the docs (strange, since sbatch accepts both but
    appears to ignore hetjob) or they're two distinct modes?
