Slow job problem on compute nodes

When I run a script on an interactive node, it begins immediately and continues as expected. However, when I submit that exact same script as a job, I experience unexpected behavior. The job will get assigned to a node and “start running” but it does so INCREDIBLY slowly. For example, I have a job I started 40 minutes ago that has yet to start executing the second line. For comparison, this exact same script on an interactive node hits this point in the program 2 seconds

khalilafridi, could you post the interactive command as well as the script you used to submit the job to the scheduler? That will be a good place to start with the debugging effort.

Hello khalilafridi,

It has been a while since we’ve seen any follow-up on this posting. Were you able to determine what the problem was and its resolution?
