All, When my team used PBS, we had several nodes that had a TON of CPUs, so many, in fact, that we ended up setting np to a smaller value, in order to not starve the system of memory.
What is the best way to do this with Slurm? I tried modifying # of CPUs in the slurm.conf file, but I noticed that Slurm enforces that "CPUs" is equal to Boards * SocketsPerBoard * CoresPerSocket * ThreadsPerCore. This left me with having to "fool" Slurm into thinking there were either fewer ThreadsPerCore, fewer CoresPerSocket, or fewer SocketsPerBoard. This is a less than ideal solution, it seems to me. At least, it left me feeling like there has to be a better way. Thanks! David
