SLURM multiple cores per node

Hi,

I do not see the point of doing that...
SLURM should decide where to assign your jobs.
If a node is free and has 12 slot, then SLURM will assign 12 of the slot to your job.
If only 6 are available then 6 of the madgraph jobs will be allowed to run.

If you want to be the only user running on a single node, you might use the --exclusive=user argument

Cheers,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

Ok. I guess I was just misinterpreting the output from Madgraph for how the jobs are being run.

Thank you!
