Re: [slurm-users] How to set priorities of actual obs

Ketiw, Can this can be done in /etc/security/limits.conf file in your case? F.e. '@users hard priority 10' will set default nice level for all users to 10 (and priority to 3. Default nice is 0 and priority is 20). But keep in mind, if your Slurm is configured to enforce CPU core (cgroups?) ,

Re: [slurm-users] Slurm on POWER9

2018-09-14 Thread Keith Ball
So we figured out the problem with "slurmd -C": we had run rpmbuild on the POWER9 node, but did not have the hwloc-package installed. The build process looks for this, and if not found, will apparently note use hwloc/lstopo even if installed post-build. Now Slurm reports the expected topology for

A 'nice -n 19' process will still consume 100% of the CPU if nothing else is going on. ‘top’ output from a dual-core system with 3 ‘dd’ processes -- 2 with default nice value of 0, and 1 with a nice value of 19: = PID USER PR NIVIRTRESSHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND

Dear Dimitri, Thank you for the answer. I was considering this but I would have to relay on users to submit their jobs that way. I just found a simpler solution but also somewhat limited in scope: If *PropagatePrioProcess* is set to 0 which is a default then the tasks will inherit slurmd priority

Hi Ketiw, Wouldn't 'nice' work in this case? $ man nice ... NAME nice - run a program with modified scheduling priority SYNOPSIS nice [OPTION] [COMMAND [ARG]...] ... In your submit script you would run the program as nice -n 19 -Original Message- From: slurm-users O

Hi all, New member to the list, and we've only been using Slurm for a few months. Everything is working well but I have some questions about user management. Our setup is that users are managed via LDAP. They exist on all compute nodes and on the submission node, but not on the controller (possib
