Spent last week fighting with issues on a slurm cluster, and having finally figured it out, I wanted to share the result (and a warning): I had been parallelizing through a slurm batch script with this call: julia --machinefile $SLURM_NODEFILE indiv_array.jl (For full script, see here ) Turns out…

Using srun should be fine since that is the correct way of starting a job. The workflow should work something like this: salloc | sbatch # create resources. julia> addprocs(SlurmManager(2)) # SlurmManager should inherit the outside allocation.
