Hello,
I am running the slurm non regression tests on a virtual machine that has 2 CPU. This is how I noticed this strange behavior. test1.69 fails because each srun job launched by it take 2 CPU by default (I checked with sacct when the jobs were over). Of course, because of that, 1 of the 2 jobs stays pending (waiting for ressources) until the other has completed. The aim of test1.69 is to check that 2 srun commands can run simultaneously so, of course, it fails on my VM. If I want srun to take only 1 cpu, I have to indicate explicitely "srun -n 1 myscript.sh". I am wondering if I possibly missed something in my slurm configuration/installation or if this is a bug introduced in the new version. I checked on our test cluster that is running under slurm 14.11.5 and srun takes 1 CPU by default.
Any hint is welcome. Kind regards, Véronique -- Véronique Legrand IT engineer - Scientific computing IT center for biology - C3BI Institut Pasteur, Paris mail: [email protected] Tel: 01 44 38 95 03
