I do not have experience with using NVML and MPS, but here are my thoughts. What I would focus my attention is this line:

I would not be surprised if you need to restart slurmd too after changing the SelectType configuration. Also, do not forget this warning from the documentation when it comes to modifying SelectType: Changing this value can only be done by restarting the slurmctld daemon and will result in the loss of all job information (running and pending) since the job state save format used by each plugin is different. -- Davide Vanzo, PhD Computer Scientist BioHPC – Lyda Hill Dept. of Bioinformatics UT Southwestern Medical Center From: slurm-users <slurm-users-boun...@lists.schedmd.com<mailto:slurm-users-boun...@lists.schedmd.com>> On Behalf Of Robert Kudyba Sent: Tuesday, April 7, 2020 3:26 PM To: Slurm User Community List <slurm-users@lists.schedmd.com<mailto:slurm-users@lists.schedmd.com>> Subject: [slurm-users] Header lengths are longer than data received after changing SelectType & GresTypes to use MPS EXTERNAL MAIL Using Slurm 20.02 on CentIOS 7.7 with Bright Cluster.
