Hi Jason, we intend to have a maximum wallclock time of 5 days. We chose this, to have the possibility to do a timely maintenance without disturbing and killing the users jobs. Yet we see that some users and / or codes need a longer runtime. That is why we set the maxtime for the partitions to

FWIW, I define the DefaultTime as 5 minutes, which effectively means for any "real" job that users must actually define a time. It helps users get into that habit, because in the absence of a DefaultTime, most will not even bother to think critically and carefully about what time limit is actually

Hi All Hope you are all keeping well in these difficult times. I have setup a small Slurm cluster of 8 compute nodes (4 x 1-core CPUs, 16GB RAM) without scheduling or accounting as it isn't really needed. I'm just looking for confirmation it's configured correctly to allow the controller to 's

Depending on the users who will be on this cluster, I'd probably adjust the partition to have a defined, non-infinite MaxTime, and maybe a lower DefaultTime. Otherwise, it would be very easy for someone to start a job that reserves all cores until the nodes get rebooted, since all they have to d
