Bin, I think that what you’re looking for is called "Matching OR". Here is the text from the sbatch man page under constraints:
Matching OR If only one of a set of possible options should be used for all allocated nodes, then use the OR operator and enclose the options within square brackets. For example: "--constraint=[rack1|rack2|rack3|rack4]" might be used to specify that all nodes must be allocated on a single rack of the cluster, but any of those four racks can be used. So, you would want something like this: sbatch -C [YEAR2012|YEAR2013|YEAR2014] batch.sh Hope that helps, Mike Robbert Colorado School of Mines > On Jul 7, 2016, at 11:33 AM, Chen, Bin <bch...@fsu.edu> wrote: > > > Hi, > > I have a partition with intel nodes of different years, with features > YEAR2012, YEAR2013, YEAR2014, respectively. > > How to configure the system to have jobs submitted to this partition not > mixing nodes of different years? > Say, If I submit a job asking for 3 different nodes, I want all nodes to be > of the same year. > (But I do not want to specify which year I want). > > Thank you very much! > > BIN CHEN > HPC Application Specialist > Research Computing Center > Florida State University
