Hi David,
That's because I forgot to include my sacct command:
sacct -ap -S 2014-01-01 -E now
--format=jobid,user,partition,ncpus,cputimeraw,nodelist
So in my example, the single job step (59.batch) ran on one core and
took 81 seconds. The first entry (which I'm referring to as the "primary
job") shows that he reserved (or requested) two cpus. I'm assuming that
since the two cpus he requested were unavailable to anyone else, Slurm
is just showing that he effectively used 162 cpu seconds (81 x 2).
Thank you,
Robert

Hi Robert,
the first line is the allocation and the second the batch
step, the batch step runs on one cpu. I am not sure what are the
columns with values 162 and 81. The elapsed time of the allocation
should be the sum of elapsed time of all steps, so if the step ran for
81 seconds I would expect the elapsed time of the allocation to be 81.
For exaple:
david@prometeo ~/slurm/work>\sacct -o jobid,ncpus,state,elapsed -j 78475
JobID NCPUS State Elapsed
------------ ---------- ---------- ----------
78475 2 COMPLETED 00:00:20
78475.batch 1 COMPLETED 00:00:20
78475.0 2 COMPLETED 00:00:10
78475.1 2 COMPLETED 00:00:10

Please consider this sacct output. My question is how should this output
be understood?
59|usera|defq|2|162|
59.batch|||1|81|
Here's how I'm reading it:
1. usera submitted jobid 59 and requested 2 CPUs.
2. He actually used only one CPU for 81 seconds.
3. As a result, 2 CPUs were reserved and unavailable to anyone during
the 81 second run time, so 162 CPU seconds were effectively used (by
virtue of both CPUs being unavailable during the entire job run time).
Do I have an accurate understanding of this? If so, then it appears that
if I want the total "chargeable" resource usage I should just look at
the primary job record (59 in this case) and skip the records for each
of the job steps since they're included in the primary. Would you
concur?
Thank you,
Robert
