I am working on my first ever SLURM cluster build for use as a resource manager in a JupyterHub Development environment. I have configured the cluster for SelectType of 'select/con_res' with DefMemPerCPU and MaxMemPerCPU of 16Gb. The idea is to essentially provide for jobs that run in a 1 CPU/16Gb chunks. This is a starting point for us.
What I am seeing is that when users submit jobs and ask for memory only - in this case, 16Gb, SLURM actually allocates 2 CPUs, not 1 that I would expect. Is my understanding of how this particular configuration works incorrect? The contents of this email are the property of PNC. If it was not addressed to you, you have no legal right to read it.
