Re: [slurm-users] Executing slurm command from Lua job_submit script?

Hi Chansup, os.execute just returns the EXIT code of the command. You will need to do a little more, to catch the output of your program, e.g. function shellExecute(cmd, Output)    if (Output == nil) then Output = true end    local file = assert(io.popen(cmd, 'r'))    if (Output == true) then  

[slurm-users] Preemtion / Oversubscribe

Dear Slurm Experts, I am trying to implement a low priority partition that overlaps with other partitions which would suspend for higher priority tier jobs. I noticed when I do this and switch SelectTypeParameters=CR_Core to CR_CPU (my intention is to use each ht thread separately for better

Re: [slurm-users] How to request for the allocation of scratch .

Have you defined the TmpDisk value for each node? As far as I know, local disk space is not a valid type for GRES. https://slurm.schedmd.com/gres.html "Generic resource (GRES) scheduling is supported through a flexible plugin mechanism. Support is currently provided for Graphics Processing

Re: [slurm-users] How to request for the allocation of scratch .

Any suggestion on the above query.need help to understand it. Does TmpFS=/scratch and the request is #SBATCH --tmp=500GB then it will reserve the 500GB from scratch. let me know if my assumption is correct? Regards Navin. On Mon, Apr 13, 2020 at 11:10 AM navin srivastava wrote: > Hi Team,

Re: [slurm-users] clarification on slurm scheduler and the "nice" parameter

Hi; Did you restart slurmctld after changing "PriorityType=priority/multifactor"? Also your nice values are too small. It is not unix nice. Its range is +/-2147483645, and it race with other priority factors at priority factor formula. Look priority factor formula at

Re: [slurm-users] clarification on slurm scheduler and the "nice" parameter

Hello Lyn, thanks for your reply. I checked my configuration; the PriorityType was set to "PriorityType=priority/basic" initially, so my tests refer to that configuration. After you post, I set it to "PriorityType=priority/multifactor" and ran the tests again: the results are the same. I was

Re: [slurm-users] clarification on slurm scheduler and the "nice" parameter

Hi Matteo, Hard to say without seeing your priority config values, but I'm guessing you want to take a look at https://slurm.schedmd.com/priority_multifactor.html. Regards, Lyn On Tue, Apr 14, 2020 at 12:02 AM Matteo F wrote: > Hello there, > I am having problems understanding the slurm

[slurm-users] clarification on slurm scheduler and the "nice" parameter

Hello there, I am having problems understanding the slurm scheduler, with regard to the "nice" parameter. I have two types of job: one is low priority and uses 4 CPUs (--nice=20), the other one is high priority and uses 24 CPUs (--nice=10). When I submit, let's say, 50 low-priority jobs, only 6
