And even that can be condensed -- if you like: NodeName=host0[1-4] ... s. https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurm.conf.html (Easy to miss, because in-front of NodeName...) --- %< --- Multiple node names may be comma separated (e.g. "alpha,beta,gamma") and/or a simple node range expression may optionally be used to specify numeric ranges of nodes to avoid building a configuration file with large numbers of entries. The node range expression can contain one pair of square brackets with a sequence of comma separated numbers and/or ranges of numbers separated by a "-" (e.g. "linux[0-64,128]", or "lx[15,18,32-33]"). Note that the numeric ranges can include one or more leading zeros to indicate the numeric portion has a fixed number of digits (e.g. "linux[0000-1023]"). Up to two numeric ranges can be included in the expression (e.g. "rack[0-63]_blade[0-41]"). If one or more numeric expressions are included, one of them must be at the end of the name (e.g. "unit[0-31]rack" is invalid), but arbitrary names can always be used in a comma separated list. --- %< --- And the hidden gem from the slurm download section: https://www.nsc.liu.se/~kent/python-hostlist/ Merry Christmas!
