[slurm-users] Re: srun launched mpi job occasionally core dumps
Thanks for the suggestion Ole - I tried this out yesterday with RHEL 9.4 with two slightly different setups. 1) Using the stock ice driver that comes with RHEL 9.4 for the card still saw the issue. 2) There was not a pre-built version of the ice driver on the intel download site, so I built it myself, rebooted and re-ran the test. It did greatly reduced the number of occurrences of the issue - but didn't eliminate them. This is similar to what I saw on the RHEL 9.3 setup (adding the intel ICE driver reduced occurrences but did not eliminate them entirely). I can also report that the 23.02.7 tree had the similar results on the 9.3 node setup. Going backwards on the slurm bits did not seem to change the number of occurrences. Unfortunately I think I'm out of time for experiments on these nodes, but maybe this thread will be useful to others down the road. Brent PS - sorry for my last post getting tagged as s new issue. Hopefully this one will thread correctly. -- slurm-users mailing list -- slurm-users@lists.schedmd.com To unsubscribe send an email to slurm-users-le...@lists.schedmd.com
[slurm-users] Re: srun launched mpi job occasionally core dumps
Thanks for the suggestion Ole - I'll see if I can get that in the mix to try over the next few days. I can report that 23.02.7 tree had the same issues, so going backwards on the slurm bits did not have any impact.

My 2 cents: RHEL/AlmaLinux/RockyLinux 9.4 is out now, maybe it's worth a try to update to 9.4? /Ole -- slurm-users mailing list -- slurm-users@lists.schedmd.com To unsubscribe send an email to slurm-users-le...@lists.schedmd.com

Over the past few days I grabbed some time on the nodes and ran for a few hours. Looks like I *can* still hit the issue with cgroups disabled. Incident rate was 8 out of >11k jobs so dropped an order of magnitude or so. Guessing that exonerates cgroups as the cause, but possibly just a good way to tickle the real issue. Over the next few days, I'll try to roll everything back to RHEL 8.9 and see how that goes.
