Hello Purvesh, I'm not an expert in this, but I expect a common question would be, why are you wanting to do this? More information would be helpful. On the surface, it seems like you could just allocate two full nodes to each partition. You must have a reason why that is unacceptable, however.
My first inclination, without more information, is to say, "don't do that." If you must, one way I can think to (sort of) accomplish what you want is to configure the partitions with the MaxCPUsPerNode option: PartitionName=ppart Nodes=node[01-04] MaxCPUsPerNode=8 PartitionName=cpart Nodes=node[01-04] MaxCPUsPerNode=8 I don't think this guarantees which specific CPUs are assigned to each partition, though I do believe there may be a way to do that. In any case, this might work for your needs.
