Hello,
We have a problem or a misunderstanding with CPU and Nodes accounting. Our nodes have 8 CPU (hyper threading is not enabled) and exclusive (oversubscribe=no and ExclusiveUser=YES) by default. When a user submit a job with “-N 1” with 1 hour of duration, this node will be used entirely. The job can use the 8 CPUS or not, but no other job will be allocated in this node. Then: sbatch -N 1 myjob 1 hour -> 1 node with 8 CPU = 8 hours wall time. But Slurm accounting shows in the database only 1 node 1 cpus, that is the same that if you request explicitly 1 CPU. sbatch -n 1 myjob 1 hour -> 1 cpu = 1 hour wall time. How can I distinguish between jobs “sbatch -N 1” and “sbatch -n 1” for accounting?
