Upgrading to SoGE 8.1.9 seems to have done the trick. To summarize, this is what I did to get cgroups working with SoGE 8.1.9, and Centos 7.x.
On each exec host: systemctl enable cgconfig systemctl enable cgred Around line 423 of the sgeexecd startup script, add the setup-cgroups-etc script: exec 1>/dev/null 2>&1 $SGE_ROOT/util/resources/scripts/setup-cgroups-etc start $bin_dir/sge_execd * Note that I initially tried to add the setup-cgroups-etc script after the sge_execd startup but that didn't seem to work consistently. On qmaster, "qconf -mconf" and set: execd_params ENABLE_BINDING=true USE_CGROUPS Change 2 lines in $SGE_ROOT/util/resources/scripts/setup-cgroups-etc: < adminuser=$(awk '/^admin_user/ {print $2}' $SGE_ROOT/$SGE_CELL/common/bootstrap) --- > adminuser=sgeadmin < /bin/cp $cpuset_mnt/mems $cpuset_mnt/cpus $sge_cpuset --- > /bin/cp $cpuset_mnt/cpuset.mems $cpuset_mnt/cpuset.cpus $sge_cpuset Reboot qmaster and all exec nodes. So far tests with single threaded, SMP, and OpenMPI v 1.10 seem to work properly. As a side note we also have munge security enabled on the Grid. As a simple test, I submit this script: echo "--------------" echo "binding is" $SGE_BINDING echo "--------------" cat /proc/self/cgroup echo "--------------" cpucon=`grep cpuset /proc/self/cgroup | cut -f3 -d":"` cat /dev/cpuset/$cpucon/cpuset.cpus echo "--------------" which returns: qsub: -------------- binding is 0 -------------- 10:cpuset:/sge/230143.1/12159 9:net_cls:/ 8:perf_event:/ 7:blkio:/ 6:devices:/ 5:memory:/memlimit256 4:cpuacct,cpu:/ 3:hugetlb:/ 2:freezer:/ 1:name=systemd:/system.slice/sgeexecd.hpc1.service -------------- 0 -------------- qsub -pe smp 8: -------------- binding is 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 -------------- 10:memory:/memlimit256 9:freezer:/ 8:hugetlb:/ 7:perf_event:/ 6:cpuacct,cpu:/ 5:devices:/ 4:net_cls:/ 3:blkio:/ 2:cpuset:/sge/230148.1/13222 1:name=systemd:/system.slice/sgeexecd.hpc1.service -------------- 8-15 -------------- Thanks for the help William! -Dj _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@gridengine.org https://gridengine.org/mailman/listinfo/users
