topology.conf(5) Slurm Configuration File topology.conf(5) NAME topology.conf - Slurm configuration file for the topology plugins DESCRIPTION topology.conf is an ASCII file which describes the cluster's network topology for optimized job resource allocation. The file will always be located in the same directory as the slurm.conf. NOTE: This file is ignored if topology.yaml(5) exists. Parameter names are case insensitive. Any text following a "#" in the configuration file is treated as a comment through the end of that line. Changes to the configuration file take effect upon restart of Slurm daemons, daemon receipt of the SIGHUP signal, or execution of the command "scontrol reconfigure" unless otherwise noted. Refer to the topology guide for more details: <https://slurm.schedmd.com/topology.html> topology/tree This plugin requires you to use the select/cons_tres plugin. The net- work topology configuration, each line defining a switch name and its children, either node names or switch names. Slurm's hostlist expres- sion parser is used, so the node and switch names need not be consecu- tive (e.g. "Nodes=tux[0-3,12,18-20]" and "Switches=s[0-2,4-8,12]" will parse fine). An optional link speed may also be specified. All nodes in the network must be connected to at least one switch. The network must be fully connected to use TopologyParam=RouteTree. Jobs can only span nodes connected by the same switch fabric, even if there are available idle nodes in other areas of the cluster. The topology.conf file for an Infiniband switch can be automatically generated using the slurmibtopology tool found here: <https://github.com/OleHolmNielsen/Slurm_tools/tree/master/slur- mibtopology>. The overall configuration parameters available for topology/tree in- clude: SwitchName The name of a switch. This name is internal to Slurm and arbi- trary. Each switch should have a unique name. This field must be specified and cannot be longer than 64 characters. Switches Child switches of the named switch. Nodes Child nodes of the named leaf switch. LinkSpeed An optional value specifying the performance of this communica- tion link. The units used are arbitrary and this information is currently not used. It may be used in the future to optimize resource allocations. topology/block The network topology configuration, each line defining a block name and its children node names. Slurm's hostlist expression parser is used, so the node names need not be consecutive (e.g. "Nodes=tux[0-3,12,18-20]"). This topology plugin places emphasis on reducing fragmentation of the cluster, allowing jobs to take advantage of lower-latency connections between smaller "blocks" of nodes, rather than starting jobs as quickly as possible on the first available resources. Defined blocks of nodes are paired with other contiguous blocks, to create a higher level block of nodes. These larger blocks can then be paired with other blocks at the same level for bigger and bigger blocks of contiguous nodes with optimized communication between them. The en- forced block sizes are defined by BlockSizes. The overall configuration parameters available for topology/block in- clude: BlockName The name of a block. This name is internal to Slurm and arbi- trary. Each block should have a unique name. This field must be specified. Nodes Child nodes of the named block. BlockSizes List of the planning base block size, alongside any higher-level block sizes that would be enforced. Each block must have at least the planning base block size count of nodes. Successive BlockSizes must be a power of two larger than the prior values.
