hi,
The number of tasks allowed to run on a node is limited by the core number of the node. By default, we allow one task for one core.
You can change the default behavior by setting "subscribed cores" for the node. In your case, you can set 30 subscribed cores on your nodes so that 30*8=240 tasks can be run at the same time. To do this, you need:
- Take offline your nodes
- run powershell cmdlet:
add-pssnapin microsoft.hpc
set-hpcnode -subscribedCors 30 -subscribedSockets 10
- take online the nodes
Submit your job and check the behavior.
