If you use jobacct_gather/cgroup, slurm (via cgroups) will count the memory of all processes in the cgroup, and I don't think a regular user is able to move any processes outside the current cgroup (or start a process outside from a process inside). -- Regards, Bjørn-Helge Mevik, dr. scient, Department for Research Computing, University of Oslo
