Cray's UP07 release is reported to have a new hugepages library that will work with cgroups including recording of OOM events. Tentatively, Slurm will be modified to report the event using a similar message to that currently provided for other memory OOM events, something like this: srun: error: nid12345: tasks 67-78: Out of Hugepages Memory No date has yet been set for delivery of this feature in Slurm.
