Hi All
Hope you are all keeping well in these difficult times.
I have setup a small Slurm cluster of 8 compute nodes (4 x 1-core CPUs, 16GB
RAM) without scheduling or accounting as it isn't really needed.
I'm just looking for confirmation it's configured correctly to allow the
controller to 's
Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to gracefully terminate a solver that is
using MPI. If srun starts the MPI for me, can it tell the solver to
terminate and then wait n seconds before it tells MPI to terminate?
Or is the only way of handling this using scancel -b and trapping the
signal?
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] menti
Depending on the users who will be on this cluster, I'd probably adjust the
partition to have a defined, non-infinite MaxTime, and maybe a lower
DefaultTime. Otherwise, it would be very easy for someone to start a job that
reserves all cores until the nodes get rebooted, since all they have to d

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

I'm also experimenting with heterogeneus jobs
