Set additional slurm parameters

Hello,

I would like to know if it’s possible to set additional slurm parameters (and how to set them), because I couldn’t find this information in the documentation.

For example, I have a few arguments that I usually set using srun, such as --account=myaccount --hint=nomultithread --distribution=block:block --exclusive, but I have no idea how to set them in submitit.

Thank you in advance for your answer!

The following works:

executor.update_parameters(
    slurm_additional_parameters={
        'account': args.account,
        'hint': 'nomultithread',
        'distribution': 'block:block',
        'exclusive': True} 
)

There is some documentation in https://github.com/facebookincubator/submitit/blob/master/docs/examples.md#explained-example---initial-add-exemple-with-a-few-more-comments

It probably should be made more visible.

executor = submitit.AutoExecutor(folder=log_folder)
# Cluster specific options must be appended to the cluster name:
# Eg.: slurm partition can be specified using `slurm_partition` argument. It
# will be ignored on other clusters:
executor.update_parameters(timeout_min=4, slurm_partition="dev")

so in your case it would be:

executor.update_parameters(timeout_min=4, slurm_account="myaccount", slurm_hint="nomultithread", slurm_distribution="block:block",  slurm_exclusive=True)
