[Users] Inconsistency warnings: cores/threads mismatch [Leonardo cluster]

[Roland Haas]

Hello all,

> I never used --cores and I don't know the difference with procs.

--cores is a synonym for --procs in simfactory. The hope was to avoid
the confusion of "procs" being "Processes" or "Processors". Though it
has been pointed out that the best name would actually be "--threads"
since that is what simfactory actually starts, which then collides with
"--num-threads" (threads per process).

Does Leonardo actually charge you for partial nodes if you do no use a
full one? Simfactory is mostly written under the assumption (true at
the time) that HPC systems would give you full nodes all the time, so
if you use 1 core or 112 cores of a node, the charge would be the same
(though shared node systems are becoming more common for HPC now [or
again]).

Yours,
Roland
