[...] If the above is the complete slurm.conf you might better generate a config. via the simple or advanced configuration tool Slurm uses "select/linear" as default -- according to: [1] http://slurm.schedmd.com/cons_res.html Albeit " All CR_s assume Shared=No or Shared=Force EXCEPT for CR_MEMORY which assumes Shared=Yes " talks about cons. res. -- which you define none -- I think Shared=No is also a default (which I couldn't look up properly) But http://slurm.schedmd.com/cons_res_share.html and at [1] below "Example of Node Allocations Using Consumable Resource Plugin" is section "Using Slurm's Default Node Allocation (Non-shared Mode)" what seems to exactly describe your case.
