Hi Amir, as far as I can tell, there is no way to create resources dynamically.
In general, a gres is a generic resource, e.g. tmp-Space, or whatever could be scheduled and must be restricted by a job.
A feature is more like a binary switch. You could for example set a feature "amd" on all amd nodes and "intel" on all intel nodes. For submission, one can then use --constraint=intel, such that the job will get scheduled onto a node, which has the "intel" feature. But what you can do with features is, activate or deactivate features. There is a set of features, which you enter for each node in the slurm.conf. Here you could e.g. give EVERY node the "intel" and "amd" feature. You could then e.g. in a nodehealtcheck script deactivate the amd feature, if you are on an intel node. One can see the difference between the AvailableFeatures ( which you entered in slurm.conf ) and the ActiveFeatures by executing "scontrol show node <nodename>" for the node.

Hi,I have looked on the Slurm documentation, but didn’t found any way to crate resource dynamically ( in a script ) on the node levelI also saw that Slurm have the feature + gres that can be declare on the node, but those seems static resource taggingWill also be interesting to know what is the different between feature and gres in general ?Thanks for your help, Amir
