There are two mechanism to control this.
If you want to allocate individual processors on a node to jobs,
configure <i>SelectType=select/cons_res</i>.
See <a href="cons_res.html">Consumable Resources in SLURM</a>
for details about this configuration.
If you want to allocate whole nodes to jobs, configure
configure <i>SelectType=select/linear</i>.
Each partition also has a configuration parameter <i>Shared</i>
that enables more than one job to execute on each node.
See <i>man slurm.conf</i> for more information about these
configuration paramters.</p>
