Is there a way to configure generic resources to look at a hierarchy of a group of resources? I ask this in the context of generic resources but if there is another way to configure SLURM to accomplish the same thing I would be interested to see.
I want to be able to list a generic resource of TmpX in the sbatch and have SLURM determine the best Gres to use from Tmp1,Tmp2,Tmp3. The process sleep.py can use any of the gres(Tmp1,Tmp2,Tmp3) as long as the amount requested by TmpX is less than the amount defined for that Gres and there is still some resource left based on other jobs using up some of the resource. The reason that I ask this is that the resource defined by Tmp1,Tmp2, and Tmp3 have different levels of performance with Tmp1 being fastest and Tmp3 being slowest. I want processes to run on the fastest TmpX resource available based on the availability in the cluster and what the job needs to complete. Below are some examples: line items in slurm.conf: GresTypes=TmpX(Tmp1,Tmp2,Tmp3) NodeName=cloudlg016[045,089,133] NodeAddr=10.48.16.[45,89,133] Sockets=4 CoresPerSocket=4 State=UNKNOWN Gres=TmpX(Tmp1:700,Tmp2:2000,Tmp3:10000),Process:16 RealMemory=512 an sbatch like the following would use Tmp1 since 190 is less than 700: sbatch --comment="job_id.prog_id:6162.5" --gres=Process,TmpX:190 /export/home/s_user1/slurm/sleep.py 0.1' an sbatch like the following would use Tmp2 since 900 is less than 2000 and greater than 700 : sbatch --comment="job_id.prog_id:6162.5" --gres=Process,TmpX:900 /export/home/s_user1/slurm/sleep.py 0.1' an sbatch like the following would use Tmp3 since 2500 is less than 10000 and greater than 2000 : sbatch --comment="job_id.prog_id:6162.5" --gres=Process,TmpX:2500 /export/home/s_user1/slurm/sleep.py 0.1'
