Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with CycleCloud 8.2.1-1733, sge/gridengine, and the shown [[[configuration]]] settings for the gpu1K80 nodearray. Compare the configured gridengine.slots value with the six slots reported on new nodes and trace how CoreCount and slot settings are applied. Done means the node exposes one GridEngine slot when configured with gridengine.slots = 1.

Description

Hi, I am using cyclecloud Version: 8.2.1-1733 with sge / gridengine.

I tried to customize the template for GUU nodes using

        [[[configuration]]]
        gridengine.slot_type = gpu1K80
        gridengine.slots = 1

or better context

[[nodearray gpu1K80]]
    MachineType = $Gpu1K80MachineType
    MaxCoreCount = $MaxGpu1K80CoreCount
    # Set the number of cores to the number of GPUs for autoscaling purposes
    CoreCount = 1
    AdditionalClusterInitSpecs = $ExecuteClusterInitSpecs

        [[[configuration]]]
        gridengine.slot_type = gpu1K80
        gridengine.slots = 1

It does look like gridengine.slots = 1 does not work. I see that new nodes have 6 slots as the number of cores

Is there a different way to set the number of slots available on a node?

Thanks!
