That example uses "SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK". From 
https://slurm.schedmd.com/sbatch.html

SLURM_CPUS_PER_TASK
    Number of cpus requested per task. Only set if the --cpus-per-task option 
is specified.

I am not specifying --cpus-per-task, in part because it is more efficient to 
let SLURM handle that. I request 32 tasks, but I may get 2 nodes with 16 CPUs 
each, or 2 nodes, one with 31 CPUs and one with 1 CPU, or any other combo (10 
nodes, 5 CPU on 1, 3 on the rest)

The problem is trivial if I require specific I am more specific to SLURM, for 
example --nodes=1 --ntasks=32 to force all cores to be on the
same node. But that will make my jobs harder to queue.


  -k.
