Re: [slurm-users] How to set default partition in slurm configuration
Hi Xaver. Just add "Default=Yes" to the definition of the partition you want to have as default. See https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurm.conf.html#OPT_Default If you just want Slurm select any partition that maches user's requests, you can use JobSubmitPlugins=all_partitions Diego Il 25/01/2023 15:03, Xaver Stiensmeier ha scritto: Dear slurm-user list, I am aware that this question sounds very simple and it should be resolved by just taking one look at the documentation, but for some reason I am unable to find where I can set the default partition in the slurm configuration.

I only found reference to the "default partition" in `JobSubmitPlugins` and this might be the solution. However, I think this is something so basic that it probably shouldn't need a plugin so I am unsure. Can anyone point me towards how setting the default partition is done?

[slurm-users] GPU: MPS vs Sharding
Hi, Slurm 22.05 has a new thing called GPU sharding that allows a single GPU to be used by multiple jobs at once. As far as I understood the major difference with the MPS approach is that this should generic (not tied to NVidia technology). Has anyone tried it out? Does it work well? Any caveats or downsides compared to MPS? Thanks, Ward smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature
