[slurm-dev] Re: set maximum CPU usage per user

[Steven Lo]

By the way, we do have the following attribute set:

    PriorityType=priority/multifactor


Thanks

Steven.

Hi Chris,

When we try the command as suggested, it said that nothing modified:

[root@pauling ~]# sacctmgr modify account normal set Grpcpus=300
 Nothing modified

Do you know if there is other method?

Thanks

Steven.

Hi Steven,

If you are trying to restrict the cpus for a group, I believe you need to set the account value:

sacctmgr modify account normal set Grpcpus=300

Best,
Chris

               Hi,
          We are trying to limit 300 CPU usage per user in our cluster.
          We have tried:
          sacctmgr modify qos normal set Grpcpus=300
          and
          sacctmgr modify user username set GrpCPUs=300
               Both seems to allow job to run which asking for 308 CPUs.
               Is there other way to implement this requirement?
               Thanks advance for your suggestion.
               Steven.
