You can use a job_submit plugin to automatically enter/edit a GRES
value and avoid forcing users to enter it (assuming it applies to all
jobs, e.g. "--gres=jobs").
Quoting Franco Broi <[email protected]>:
Yep that's how we do it, note that you need to specify Gres in three
places:
in slurm.conf
GresTypes=Mygres
NodeName=.... Gres=Mygres
and in gres.conf
Name=Mygres Count=2
And when you submit a job, use sbatch --gres=Mygres

The simplest solution would probably be to define a generic resource
(GRES) of "jobs", two per node, and then in a job_submit plugin, set
every job to require one GRES of type "jobs" (at least that's what we
did on some Cray systems). More information here:
