Description Diego Zuccato 2020-10-05 01:57:31 MDT
The page https://slurm.schedmd.com/heterogeneous_jobs.html says to use
#SBATCH hetjob
but in 18.04 (Debian 10 packages) I had to use
#SBATCH packjob

Strangely (?) it appears to recognize hetjob line, but as no-op.
IIUC, it got changed from packjob to hetjob after 18.08 . To avoid confused users, it could be better to cite the older syntax in the docks and keep recognizing it in newer ones (maybe emitting a warning).

Hope it helps improve an already great product!

BYtE,
 Diego
