Dear SLURM experts,
we have a cluster of 56 nodes with 28 cores each. Is it possible
to
limit the number of jobs of a certain name which concurrently run
on
one node, without blocking the node for other jobs?
For example, when I do
for filename in runtimes/*/jobscript.sh; do
sbatch -J iojob -n 1 $filename
done
How can I assure that only one of these jobs runs per node? The
jobs
are very lightweight computationally and only use 1 core each, but
since they are rather heavy on the I/O side, I'd like to ensure
that
when a job runs, it doesn't have to share the available I/O
bandwidth
with other jobs. (This would actually work since usually our
other
jobs are not I/O intensive.)
From reading the manpage, I couldn't figure out how to do this.
Sunny greetings,
Andreas
