Adrian, forgive my asking but are you running this on a laptop 'natively' or using a virtual machine, eg. On VirtualBox It could be that if you have a VM it is set to have a different number of cores than your real laptop. I could be very very wrong here.... (I am working on a VirtualBox VM at the moment so that is why I am thinking that way)

I have trouble understanding the definition of job slots for each node ... and i am running slurm only on my desktop to get used to it until i move it to the clusters .. it is not clear to me how one can define the job slots for each node and how it can be automatically done for a list of nodes (i hope that there is not a requirement of human input of hardware resources for each node) I have defined TaskPluginParam=Cores SelectType=select/cons_res SelectTypeParameters=CR_CPU and NodeName=localhost CPUs=8 PartitionName=local Nodes=localhost Default=YES MaxTime=172800 State=UP but in the logs i have this: Aug 16 17:45:39 sev.spacescience.ro slurmd[7371]: Node configuration differs from hardware: CPUs=8:8(hw) Boards=1:1(hw) SocketsPerBoard=8:1(hw) CoresPerSocket=1:4(hw) ThreadsPerCore=1:2(hw) Aug 16 17:45:39 sev.spacescience.ro slurmd[7373]: CPUs=8 Boards=1 Sockets=8 Cores=1 Threads=1 Memory=16006 TmpDisk=255791 Uptime=1313157 CPUSpecList=(null) FeaturesAvail=(null) FeaturesActive=(null) how can i define for my machine to run 8 jobs? also, for the next level, how can i set a job slot for each physical core (a job to run on the physical core + its ht partner)?
