[slurm-users] trying to add gres

[Erik Bryer]

I made the gres.conf the same on both nodes and Slurm started without error. I'm now seeing another error.

There are 4 GPUs defined per node. If I start 2 jobs with
#SBATCH --gpus=foolsgold:4
it runs one job in each of the 2 nodes. If I scancel those and run 4 jobs with the script reading
#SBATCH --gpus=foolsgold:1
I get 2 queued and 2 running jobs. It seems allocating 1 gpu allocates all 4, not just 1. But why would this be so?

Thanks,
Erik

Did you update your gres.conf on all the nodes to match?

All the best,
Chris
