Hello, Is it possible to set MaxMemPerCPU setting at a node level? We have a couple different node types with different memory-per-core values. Understand this can be set globally and at partition level, but looking to reduce partition count where possible. Thanks!
Hello, There is no functionality for a MaxMemPerCPU on a node to node basis, we have found that most users have no need for it. As you have said, there is the MaxMemPerCPU option for partitions and globally. You could have many partitions or set a global MaxMem that is in the upper bound of your nodes. What are you uses cases for needing a MaxMemPerCPU node?
Hello, Current goals: - Accounting/charging tracked via CPU hours as service units. - If users request more memory it gives them more cores to match. - Try to keep one purpose for SLURM parameter so easier to understand logic for users (ex: partitions vs constraints for hardware type - normal vs largemem). Thanks
Hello, Could you elaborate on some of your points? > Accounting/charging tracked via CPU hours as service units. What are the service units? We have data outputs in AccountingStorageTRES that can be accessed through sacct. This SystemCPU field or the TotalCPU field seem close to what you're hoping for. https://slurm.schedmd.com/sacct.html#OPT_SystemCPU https://slurm.schedmd.com/sacct.html#OPT_TotalCPU > Try to keep one purpose for SLURM parameter so easier to understand logic for users (ex: > partitions vs constraints for hardware type - normal vs largemem). I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you mean by this. Are you trying to lessen the number of arguments that users need to input?
Hello, Is there any further elaboration on your points? I'm afraid I don't quite understand what you mean by some of them.
I'm going to close this ticket now. Feel free to open this ticket if you have some clarifications for your use cases.
