We would like to clean our memory buffers/cache on a regular basis without rebooting nodes. We can easily do this manually with “sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches“. Is anyone else out there doing anything like this? Does SLURM offer anything builtin for running this when it sees an empty node? Outside of rotating nodes into a drain state for maintenance and then running this command, I have yet to see any other option. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
