OK I understand that. However, there is a issue with ntasks=1. Assume a user wants to launch an application with the number of cores in the command line argument. Taking into mind that the cpu limit for the partition is 20 cores, the following example
[mahmood@rocks7 ~]$ srun --x11 -A y8 -p RUBY --mem=8GB --pty bash [mahmood@compute-0-6 ~]$ /state/partition1/scfd/sc -t10 raises two problems: 1- Slurm assumes that the user job is using only one core. That means a user can create 20 interactive sessions and in each of the sessions launch the program with 10 threads and bypassing the core limit I set before. 2- The user that start the session with ntasks=1 (or not specifying that) and then cheat the system by launching the program with more than cpu limit (specifying -t50). Any idea?
