Hi Why you don't want to base this on cpus? GrpTRES=cpus=somenumber Dominik We guarantee owners immediate access to purchased nodes, and limiting by cpu would allow one owner to spread single-core jobs across all nodes. That would potentially block other owners for up to max walltime. Hi I am afraid we are not planing to change this GrpTRES=nodes behavior. If you have homogeneous nodes, usage of GrpTRES=cpus should be good choice. Scenario from comment 2 is generally not effective and shouldn't be used. Dominik Hi Could you give me more info? I need numbers of nodes, how many nodes do you want to give to each group Are your nodes homogeneous? What kind of benefit do you expect from using "floating partitions"? Dominik Sure. The nodes in this case are homogeneous and there are 52 of them. Most owners will have 1-5 nodes in their partition. We want to use floating partitions so we can bring nodes in and out of service without impacting users. The behavior right now is that an owner with 3 nodes (28 cores each) who runs 10 single-core jobs would end up with 3 single-core jobs running, 7 single-core job in the queue and 81 cores sitting idle. What we'd like instead is that those 10 single-core jobs get packed into those three nodes, no jobs end up in the queue, 74 cores still available. (In reply to Bill Abbott from comment #8) > Sure.

Are the core counts the same across the nodes? If they are, limiting the TRES based on cpu count, and leaving the node count off, would be the simplest strategy at present. One other option, which I'm not sure if you've looked at, would be to use a PartitionQOS with MaxNodes=3. That should limit the Partition to using three nodes at a time. You do need to be careful how this interacts with normal QOS's though. Are you able to attach your current slurm.conf, and output from 'scontrol show assoc' ? thanks, - Tim The core counts are the same across this pool of nodes, but I don't see how that addresses the problem. If user 1 has 5 nodes but uses 6, then user 2 gets blocked from their node. That violates our SLA. How can we limit tres by cpu but ensure they all go to the same 5 nodes?
The partition option of MaxNodes looked perfect, but that apparently means "Max nodes per job", not "Max nodes per partition". We want an arbitrary number of jobs that can't spread past 5 nodes in any case.
I'll paste the slurm.conf as a different comment, but here are the relevant lines from a single user:

I think we understand your problem: you want to implement the idea of having a pool of nodes, and then assign a maximum usage of X nodes to each of your groups. Then, when a user of a particular group starts using a node, you just want to make this node exclusive for their group. Finally, when a job finishes, exclusivity is ended and the node becomes available again in the pool. This feature is currently not in Slurm and I see the point in your first comment about GrpTRES=nodes=X. By now you have this options: - Give each partition separate nodes as you are doing. - Create reservations for each group, its a bit more flexible than modifying slurm.conf each time. - Change the concept of 'owning nodes' to 'owning cores', so you will end up with the solution proposed by Dominik and Tim of using GrpTRES=cpus. Which is the specific/technical reason that makes you not considering this third option of dealing with a pool of cores instead of a pool of nodes? If this options are not a solution for you I fear that this ticket should be marked as an Enhancement. Felix, You have the situation correct; that is what we want to do. The reason is that a PI who goes out and buys their own small cluster will get guaranteed immediate access to the nodes at any time, and that will outweigh all of the excellent reasons why they shouldn't do that. By giving them 10 nodes that they can immediately access (via preemption, without potentially waiting for max walltime), we neutralize that argument. How would the reservations work exactly? I assume the reservation would specify the exact 5 nodes rather than the whole pool, but how would general access users use those nodes when idle? Enhancement seems like the right Importance.

Well, it does note provide anything different to the first option and in fact I see now that you are overlapping partitions, so just forget this option. If you wouldn't overlap you would have a reservation for a specific account/s just like you have a partition with AllowGroups. > Enhancement seems like the right Importance. > Marking it as an enhancement. > Thanks, > > Bill Another option might be to give partitions MaxNodesPerGroup, MaxNodesPerAccount, MaxNodesPerPartition or something like that. MaxNodes looks like it's actually MaxNodesPerJob, but works properly with fitting small jobs into the right number of whole nodes. |
