Hi everyone!
I've been caressing our HPC headnode for quite a while now, but it does not want to accept anything that has the isExclusive option set to true. The setup is this: Each node has 8 cores and I want to run a set of tasks, where each task requires 4 cores. However, I do not want two jobs to get scheduled on the same node (I want to do some timing experiments, so I don't need interference between tasks).
What I get is this: Unhandled Exception: Microsoft.Hpc.Scheduler.Properties.SchedulerException: Task 1869.1 failed to pass validation. Error: The minimum and maximum resource requirement cannot be computed for a job with exclusive tasks. Please provide a minimum and maximum for your job and re-submit.
So I did exactly what the exception suggests, but I keep getting the same error. The last version I tried was this:
Job:
Unit Type: Node
Minimum nodes: 1
Maximum nodes: 18
Exclusive: Yes
Task:
Unit Type: Node
Minimum nodes: 1
Maximum nodes: 1
Exclusive: Yes
Did I overlook something, or is my desired setup something that doesn't work (yet)?
Thanks,
Christoph
