Howdy,
With the release of 21.08 series of slurm, we now have the ability to archive
batch scripts within slurm. Yeah, thanks! This is very cool and handy, yet
before this feature was added to slurm, we developed another option that may be

We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm version 21.08.2.
There is one significant change include in this maintenance release: the
removal of support for the long-misunderstood TaskAffinity=yes option in
cgroup.conf. Please consider using "TaskPlugins=cgroup,affinity" in
slurm.conf
Hello Tina and Hermann,

Best!

Hi Rodrigo,
a possible solution is using
VSizeFactor=100
in slurm.conf.
With this settings, programs that try to allocate more memory than

Be aware that this puts a limit on *virtual* memory, not on RSS. This
might or might not be what you want as

Yes, sorry. "Frontend" is how we call the node(s) used by users to
submit jobs, where slurmctld and slurmdbd run. We'll probably move
slurmdbd and slurmctld to a dedicated VM in a future
