I suspect that's going to depend mightily on the version of systemd and the kernel you are using (for points already covered). I've mentioned my concerns with the kernel changes coming before on the list and to the developers but I'm happy to report that the Slurm 2.6 branch head worked fine [1] on a test CentOS7 machine (which uses systemd) at home using our work Slurm 2.6 config with no changes other than removing the slurmdbd config. The unified hierarchy is still a while away (a "developer preview" was shipped in 3.16 that can be activated with a special mount option) but I do think the HPC community needs to get involved in the current discussions to make sure that our needs are kept in mind. [1] - very simple echo "hello world" plus confirming that its cgroup was configured to only allow it to access a single core. cheers, Chris -- Christopher Samuel Senior Systems Administrator VLSCI - Victorian Life Sciences Computation Initiative Email: [email protected] Phone: +61 (0)3 903 55545 http://www.vlsci.org.au/ http://twitter.com/vlsci
