Submitting A Job To Many Nodes But Limiting Number Of Cores RRS feed

    Good Evening, I have a program which is very memory intensive, so would like to submit 20 tasks over 10 nodes, but limiting the number of cores running on each node to 2.  I can execute on 10 nodes, running 1 task per node, but cannot get Job manager to submit the job running 2 task/node (Running Windows 2012 HPC Pack).  Any ideas ?

    Regards

    Paul

    HI Paul,

      If your cluster only has one type workload running, you can under subscribe the core number for the node, to let scheduler think the node has only 2 cores. (Try using powershell cmdlet "Set-HPCNode -SubscribedCores" to configure it)

      The other way is to have your job to allocate resource type to Socket if you have 2 socket for the node (If not, you can also subscribe the socket number for the nodes). This way you won't change the core number for the node thus other jobs/workloads are not imapcted

      A third way is put those tasks into 20 jobs, and you can put memory requirements for your job.
