Hi Andreas,

I get the same result if I set --ntasks-per-node=48 and --ntasks=48, or 96, or whatever.

What we wanted to achieve is, that exactly ntasks-per-node tasks get scheduled onto one host.

Hi Marcus,

What just came to my mind: if you don’t set —ntasks isn’t the default just 1? All 
examples I know using ntasks-per-node also set ntasks with ntasks >= 
ntasks-per-node.

Best,
Andreas

Hi all,

I have narrowed this down a little bit.

the really astonishing thing is, that if I use

--ntasks=48

I can submit the job, it will be scheduled onto one host:

    NumNodes=1 NumCPUs=48 NumTasks=48 CPUs/Task=1 ReqB:S:C:T=0:0:*:*
    TRES=cpu=48,mem=182400M,node=1,billing=48

but as soon as I change --ntasks to --ntasks-per-node (which should be the 
same, as --ntasks=48 schedules onto one host), I get the error:

sbatch: error: CPU count per node can not be satisfied
sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Requested node configuration is not 
available


Is there no one else, who observes this behaviour?
Any explanations?


Best
Marcus

Hi all,

I have a strange behaviour here.
We are using slurm 18.08.5-2 on CentOS 7.6.

Let me first describe our computenodes:
NodeName=ncm[0001-1032]  CPUs=48  Sockets=4 CoresPerSocket=12 ThreadsPerCore=2 
RealMemory=185000 Feature=skx8160,hostok,hpcwork                        
Weight=10541 State=UNKNOWN

we have the following config set:

$>scontrol show config | grep -i select
SelectType              = select/cons_res
SelectTypeParameters    = CR_CORE_MEMORY,CR_ONE_TASK_PER_CORE


So, I have 48 cores on one node. According to the manpage of sbatch, I should 
be able to do the following:

#SBATCH --ntasks=48
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=48

But I get the following error:
sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Requested node configuration is not 
available


Has anyone an explanation for this?


Best
Marcus
