I am pretty sure there is no way to do exactly a per user per node limit
in SLURM. I cannot think of a good reason why one would do this. Can
you explain?
I don't see why it matters if you have two user submitting two 200G jobs
if the jobs for the users are spread out over two nodes rather than
jobs for one users both running on one node and jobs for the other user
running on the other node.
If what you are really trying to limit is the amount of resources SLURM
as a whole is using on a node so SLURM never uses more than 200G out
of the 400GB on a node (for example) there are definitely ways to do that
using MemSpecLimit on the node. You can even apportion CPU cores using
CpuSpecLimit and varios cgroups v2 settings at the OS level
Otherwise there maybe a way with some fancy scripting in LUA submit
plugin or playing around with Feature/Helper plugin

The trick, I think (and Guillaume can certainly correct me) is that the aim is
to allow the user to run as many (up to) 200G mem jobs as they want....so long
as they do not consume more than 200G on any single node. So, they could run
10 200G jobs....on 10 different nodes. So the mem limit isn't per user...it's
per user per node. I think the qos limit you created below works as an OVERALL
limit for the user, but doesn't allow a per-node limiting.

Subject: [slurm-users] Re: Max TRES per user and node
Hi Guillaume,
as Rob it already mentioned, this could maybe a way for you (partition just
created temporarily online for testing). You could also add your MaxTRES=node=1
for more restrictions. We do something similar with QOS to restrict the number
of CPU's for user in certain partitions.
sacctmgr create qos name=maxtrespu200G maxtrespu=mem=200G flags=denyonlimit
scontrol create partition=testtres qos=maxtrespu200g maxtime=08:00:00
nodes=lt[10000-10003] DefMemPerCPU=940 MaxMemPerCPU=940 OverSubscribe=NO
That results in:
4 jobs with 100G each:
---
[root@levantetest ~]# squeue
JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME NODES
NODELIST(REASON)
862 testtres hostname xxxxxxx PD 0:00 1
(QOSMaxMemoryPerUser)
861 testtres hostname xxxxxxx PD 0:00 1
(QOSMaxMemoryPerUser)
860 testtres hostname xxxxxxx R 0:15 1 lt10000
859 testtres hostname xxxxxxx R 0:22 1 lt10000
6 jobs with 50G each:
---
[k202068@levantetest ~]$ squeue
JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME NODES
NODELIST(REASON)
876 testtres hostname xxxxxxx PD 0:00 1
(QOSMaxMemoryPerUser)
875 testtres hostname xxxxxxx PD 0:00 1
(QOSMaxMemoryPerUser)
874 testtres hostname xxxxxxx R 9:09 1 lt10000
873 testtres hostname xxxxxxx R 9:15 1 lt10000
872 testtres hostname xxxxxxx R 9:22 1 lt10000
871 testtres hostname xxxxxxx R 9:26 1 lt10000
Best Regrads,

Yes that's it. We already have MaxNodes=1 so a job can't be spread on multiple
nodes.
To be more precise, the limit should be by user and not by job. To illustrate,
let's imagine we have 3 empty nodes and a 200G/user/node limit. If a user
submit 10 jobs each requesting 100G of memory, there should be 2 jobs running
on each worker and 4 jobs pending.

Ah, sorry, I didn't catch that from your first post (though you did say it).
So, you are trying to limit the user to no more than 200G of memory on a single
node? So if they submit a 2nd job, that job can start but will have to go onto
another node, and will again be restricted to 200G? So they can start as many
jobs as there are nodes, and each job will be restricted to using 1 node and
200G of memory? Or can they submit a job asking for 4 nodes, where they are
limited to 200G on each node? Or are they limited to a single node, no matter
how many jobs?
Rob

Subject: Re: Max TRES per user and node
Thank you for your answer.
To test it I tried:
sacctmgr update qos normal set maxtresperuser=cpu=2
# Then in slurm.conf
PartitionName=test […] qos=normal
But then if I submit several 1-cpu jobs only two start and the others stay
pending, even though I have several nodes available. So it seems that
MaxTRESPerUser is a QoS-wide limit, and doesn't limit TRES per user and per
node but rather per user and QoS (or rather partition since I applied the QoS
on the partition). Did I miss something?
Thanks again,
Guillaume

You have the right idea.
On that same page, you'll find MaxTRESPerUser, as a QOS parameter.
You can create a QOS with the restrictions you'd like, and then in the
partition definition, you give it that QOS. The QOS will then apply its
restrictions to any jobs that use that partition.

Subject: [slurm-users] Max TRES per user and node
Hello,
We are looking for a method to limit the TRES used by each user on a per-node
basis. For example, we would like to limit the total memory allocation of jobs
from a user to 200G per node.
There is MaxTRESperNode
(https://secure-web.cisco.com/1XYDj7Zdd4kXviWIuEf6iCrFcMFlCsAS-1kUfn299tt7EA4uemjkShVZJQGwzk7R1vpjvaVuihGGKOWpSobo5QNOD_AIUxVaRE261UyP8s6n40dIKhxFZqJXqFV8b5qSFk0AzXGbjxi1ZMFq4R-v8MAUVgHDq0z7GgsVKaBnabmjcVeShGWEtzy2G23a-HrETxH3XQ2Zat5xcOYiLImgDGIlrQwprAASxzv-1sEC2rkAH_bwMx_BAvPZPYbo_unNtjwxl7TtjimDMV_gLcxa-e9o5flGl1t53kbUgeyO67uP39fOzwzAyn0Ly-GA-aiMu/https%3A%2F%2Fnam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%2F%3Furl%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fslurm.schedmd.com%252Fsacctmgr.html%2523OPT_MaxTRESPerNode%26data%3D05%257C02%257Crug262%2540psu.edu%257Ca5ac74d119fb4b1e2a6a08dcdc9d71f4%257C7cf48d453ddb4389a9c1c115526eb52e%257C0%257C0%257C638627815993703402%257CUnknown%257CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%253D%257C0%257C%257C%257C%26sdata%3DovXl4if01XtEDBQy3GxOG%252BrpH1GiDYFEOjNtz7gpkUs%253D%26reserved%3D0<https://secure-web.cisco.com/1eTmS5ppViSqsfEbAWDze7up-C2_7OXXxGCsHsg6phQ_lcy_EzRn2Qn-vAwODjqq8ZPPWZvTNYWThuydYuYP8PpGmWeq0ElG_BZev

but unfortunately, this is a per-job limit, not per user.
Ideally, we would like to apply this limit on partitions and/or QoS. Does
anyone know if this is possible and how to achieve it?
Thank you,
