Noam, Thanks for the suggestion but no luck:
sbatch -p multinode -n 80 --ntasks-per-core=1 --wrap="..." sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Node count specification invalid sbatch -p multinode -n 2 -c 40 --ntasks-per-core=1 --wrap="..." sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Node count specification invalid sbatch -p multinode -N 2 -n 80 --ntasks-per-core=1 --wrap="..." Submitted batch job I guess that the MinNodes=2 in the partition def is now being enforced somewhat more strictly, or earlier in the submission process, before it can be determined that the request will satisfy the constraint.

Have you tried adding `--ntasks-per-core` explicitly (but not number of nodes)?
