[slurm-users] Spoofing a GPU on a slurm node virtual machine

I'm trying to spoof a gpu on a Centos 7.7 virtual machine that is a slurm node. I just want slurm to see that this node has a gpu. I'm not going to execute any code that uses a gpu. I created a character device with: mknod nvidia0 c 1 1 Here's what it looks like: [root@liqidos-dean-node1 dev]#

[slurm-users] Preemption within same QOS

We're having a bit of a problem setting up slurm to achieve this: 1. Two QOSs, 'high' and 'normal'. 2. Preemption type: requeue. 3. Any job has a guarantee of running 60 minutes before being preempted. 4. Any job submitted with --qos=high can preempt jobs with --qos=normal if no resources availabl

James, you might take a look at CompleteWait and KillWait. Regards, Lyn On Fri, Jan 3, 2020 at 12:27 PM Erwin, James wrote: > Hello, > > > > I’ve recently updated a cluster to SLURM 19.05.4 and notice that new jobs > are starting on nodes still in the CG state. In an epilog I am running node >

Re: [slurm-users] Multifactor priority configuration

Hi, We have PriorityDecayHalfLife=7-0 PriorityMaxAge=7-0 which are the defaults. I don't quite understand the point below about the business of the cluster. If the cluster isn't busy, the jobs won't need to compete and jobs belonging to users with zero shares will still start. For me the

Re: [slurm-users] Multifactor priority configuration

Hi Killian, We choose to penalize the users a little only for their previous busy jobs, so we choose short turnarounds. PriorityDecayHalfLife=1-0 PriorityMaxAge=4-0 The busier the cluster, the longer should the parameters be, so the user previous jobs will restrict the "future" ones more. These s

[slurm-users] Multifactor priority configuration

Hi all. I’m interested to learn what people are using for the following configuration items: - PriorityDecayHalfLife - PriorityMaxAge and why they have chosen to set these as they have. I believe we haven’t got these set quite right on our cluster (3-0 for both items), and some understandi
