My problem is that i have for instance 100 CPU, and i want to create two partition each with 50 CPU maximum usage. In this way i can submit job to both partitions independently.

I wonder what you really want to achieve? Why do you want to divide your 100 CPUs (nodes or CPU cores?) into 2 partitions? The queue will be much more flexible if identical nodes constitute 1 partition.

If you really insist on splitting up your nodes into 2 partitions, you can configure that in slurm.conf, for example with 100 nodes named a001..a100:

PartitionName=partition1 Nodes=a[001-050]
PartitionName=partition2 Nodes=a[051-100]

If you wish, you can look at my Slurm Wiki pages for inspiration:

    Hi,

    how can i limit the number of CPU that a partition can use?

    For instance when a partition reach its maximum CPUs number you can
    submit new job but they are put in queue.
