[slurm-users] Allocate more memory

[david martin]



Hi,
I would like to submit a job that requires 3Go. The problem is that I 
have 70 nodes available each node with 2Gb memory.


So the command sbatch --mem=3G will wait for ressources to become available.


Can I run sbatch and tell the cluster to use the 3Go out of the 70Go 
available or is that a particular setup ? meaning is the memory 
restricted to each node ? or should i allocate two nodes so that i have 
2x4Go availble ?

thanks
