Dear Community,
I have a node (20 Cores) on my HPC with two different partitions: big
(16 cores) and small (4 cores). I have installed software X on this
node, but I want only one partition to have rights to run it.
Is it then possible to restrict the execution of an specific application
to a
You could do this using a job_submit.lua script that inspects for that
application and routes them properly.

But what if the user knows the path to such application (let's say
python command) and executes it on the partition he/she should not be
allowed to? Is it possible through lua scripts to set constrains on
software usage such as a limited shell, for instance?
In fact, what I'd like to implemen
Juan, me kne-jerk reaction is to say 'containerisation' here.
However I guess that means that Slurm would have to be able to inspect the
contents of a container, and I do not think that is possible.
I may be very wrong here. Anyone?
However have a look at thre Xalt stuff from TACC

This sounds like a solution for singularity.

You could use the Lua script to restrict what is permitted to run via
barring anything that isn't a specific singularity script. Else you
could use either prolog scripts to act as emergency fall back in case

I ended up with a more simple solution: I tweaked the program executable
(a bash script), so that it inspects which partition it is running on,
and if its the wrong one, it exits. Just added the following lines:
if [ $SLURM_JOB_PARTITION == 'big' ]; then
exit_code=126
