Hi Christopher,
I didn't want to ask, if I need the jobacct_gather/cgroup plugin, but I
wanted to say, that if one wants to use the jobacct_gather/cgroup plugin
(instead of the jobacct_gather/linux plugin) you need cgroups and
therefore the aforementioned ProctrackType and TaskPlugin
Hi Marcus, yes we are talking about the jobacct_gather/cgroup plugin. Yes, if
you want cgroups you need:
ProctrackType=proctrack/cgroup
TaskPlugin=task/cgroup,task/affinity
But that doesn't mean you have to run the jobacct_gather/cgroup plugin, you
have the option to use jobacct_gather/linux
Aren't we here talking about the job accounting gather plugin?
I would say, you have to use cgroups, together with
ProctrackType=proctrack/cgroup and TaskPlugin=task/cgroup if you want ot
use the jobacct_gather/cgroup plugin, because elsewise SLURMdoes not
pack the jobs into cgroups.
Best
IIRC, the big difference is if you want to use cgroups on the nodes. You
must use the cgroup plugin.

Hi Juergen,
From what I see so far, there is nothing missing from the jobacct_gather/linux
plugin vs the cgroup version. In fact, the extern step now has data where as it
is empty when using the cgroup version.
Anyone know the differences?
Best,
Chris
