Subject: [slurm-users] Having errors trying to run a packed jobs
script
Message-ID:

Hi,
I am new to slurm and I'm having some issues scheduling correctly
my tasks.
I have a very small cluster(if it even could be called a cluster) with only
one node for the moment; the node is a dual Xeon with 14 cores/socket,
hyper-threaded and 256GB of memory, running CentOS 7.3.
I have a single threaded process which I would like to run
over a series of input files(around 370). I have found that the packed
jobs scenario fits with what I'm trying to achieve. So I would like to
run 50 instances of my process at the same time over different input files.
The moment I schedule my script I can see that there are 50 instances of
my process started and running but just a bit afterwards only 5 or so of them
I can see running - so I only get full load for the first 50 instances and not
afterwards.
In the slurmctld.log I can see this type of messages:
"[2017-11-06T11:56:39.228] job_step_signal step 1489.107 not found"
and in my script output file I can see:
"srun: Job step creation temporarily disabled, retrying"
At this point I'm sifting through documentation and online info trying to figure
out what is going on. I have attached my slurmctld log file, slurm config file,
script and
the output I get from sinfo, stat and the likes.
Any pointers on how to attack this problem would be much appreciated.
Thank you
