What you are asking for does not exist today, but it would be
relatively simple to add. There are already some RPCs that communicate
only with a local slurmd on the compute node (see "scontrol
listpids"). Note this would only work once the job has actually tried
to launch something on the node (e.g. "salloc" by itself would not
work unless Slurm was configured to launch a Prolog on every compute
node at job allocation time).
Quoting Olli-Pekka Lehto <[email protected]>:
Hi,
I would like to regularly poll the resources reserved by SLURM on
each compute node with a very short interval. Is there some simple
way to get this information locally on each node, without having to
poll the server. The only thing that comes to mind immediately is to
start digging into the cgroups configuration on each node but I’m
hoping there would be a simpler solution.
Best regards,
Olli-Pekka=
