considering that you only provide "CPU... for each node" the sbatch command seems secondary to me -- I bet it is a basic configuration issue. For what you seem to aim for, setting CPUs for each node alone is not sufficient. E.g. The default SelectType is select/linear (whole nodes). The selection of the node and resources can depend on a lot of stuff. Maybe this one first: http://slurm.schedmd.com/cpu_management.html And IMO the most important in your case SelectType=select/cons_res and SelectTypeParameters: https://slurm.schedmd.com/cons_res.html If I misunderstood your posting and you think you have a proper setup that is misbehaving, can you post the other settings in your slurm.conf?
