Re: [slurm-users] job priority keeping resources from being used?

Hi, maybe I missed it, but what does squeue say in the reason field for your pending jobs that you expect to slip in? Is your partition maybe configured for exclusive node access, e.g. by setting `OverSubscribe=EXCLUSIVE´? Best regards Jürgen -- Jürgen Salk Scientific Software & Compute

Re: [slurm-users] job priority keeping resources from being used?

I see - yes, to clarify, we are specifying memory for each of these jobs, and there is enough memory on the nodes for both types of jobs to be running simultaneously. On Fri, Nov 1, 2019 at 1:59 PM Brian Andrus wrote: > I ask if you are specifying it, because if not, slurm will assume a job >

Re: [slurm-users] job priority keeping resources from being used?

I ask if you are specifying it, because if not, slurm will assume a job will use all the memory available. So without specifying, your big job gets allocated 100% of the memory so nothing could be sent to the node. Same if you don't specify for the little jobs. It would want 100%, but if

Re: [slurm-users] job priority keeping resources from being used?

yes, there is enough memory for each of these jobs, and there is enough memory to run the high resource and low resource jobs at the same time. On Fri, Nov 1, 2019 at 1:37 PM Brian Andrus wrote: > Are you specifying memory for each of the jobs? > > Can't run a small job if there isn't enough

Re: [slurm-users] job priority keeping resources from being used?

Are you specifying memory for each of the jobs? Can't run a small job if there isn't enough memory available for it. Brian Andrus On 11/1/2019 7:42 AM, c b wrote: I have: SelectType=select/cons_res SelectTypeParameters=CR_CPU_Memory On Fri, Nov 1, 2019 at 10:39 AM Mark Hahn

[slurm-users] job priority keeping resources from being used?

Hi, Apologies for the weird subject line...I don't know how else to describe what I'm seeing. Suppose my cluster has machines with 8 cores each. I have many large high priority jobs that each require 6 cores, so each machine in my cluster runs one of each of these jobs at a time. However, I
