Hi, I am wondering how to exactly set the usage of CPU and RAM with Slurm, since this is my first time using Slurm (or any workload manager/job scheduler for that matter). Can I just create new partitions and set these partitions for the destination id together with slurm as the runner? And what is the param id? I had the following settings in mind for Slurm, but am wondering if this would actually work or not. Also, I am using this for my private galaxy server (https://galaxyproject.org/) in order to run tools more efficiently, in case this might be important. Any feedback/help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Here are the parts of my files with the settings I had in mind:

galaxyservers.yml:

# Slurm
slurm_roles: ['controller', 'exec']
slurm_nodes:
- name: localhost 
  CPUs: 14 # Host has 16 cores total
  RealMemory: 110000 # 110000MB, viewed with command 'free --mega' which shows 135049MB total free
  ThreadsPerCore: 1
slurm_partitions:
  - name: main
    Nodes: localhost
    Default: YES
slurm_config:
  SlurmdParameters: config_overrides   # Ignore errors if the host actually has cores != 2
  SelectType: select/cons_res
  SelectTypeParameters: CR_CPU_Memory  # Allocate individual cores/memory instead of entire node

job_conf.xml.j1:

<job_conf>
    <plugins workers="14"> #cores
        <plugin id="local_plugin" type="runner" load="galaxy.jobs.runners.local:LocalJobRunner"/>
        <plugin id="slurm" type="runner" load="galaxy.jobs.runners.slurm:SlurmJobRunner"/>
    </plugins>
    <destinations default="slurm">
        <destination id="local_destination" runner="local_plugin"/>
        <destination id="partition_1" runner="slurm">
            <param id="p01">--nodes=1 --ntasks=1 --cpus-per-task=1 --mem=4000</param>
            <param id="tmp_dir">True</param>
        </destination>
        <destination id="partition_2" runner="slurm">
            <param id="p02">--nodes=1 --ntasks=1 --cpus-per-task=2 --mem=6000</param>
            <param id="tmp_dir">True</param>
        </destination>
        <destination id="partition_3" runner="slurm">
            <param id="p03">--nodes=1 --ntasks=1 --cpus-per-task=4 --mem=16000</param>
            <param id="tmp_dir">True</param>
        </destination>
    </destinations>
    </limits>
     <tools>
        <tool id="tool_example_1" destination="partition_1"/>
        <tool id="tool_example_2" destination="partition_2"/>
        <tool id="tool_example_3" destination="partition_3"/>
     </tools>
</job_conf>

This is about resource management, not about bioinformatics.

True, but it was recommended to me to post the question on this forum, since it is related to the Galaxy project, which is a bioinformatics platform, and I could possibly find people on here who also use this platform for bioinformatic analysis who know how to fix this problem, therefore the question was posted on here.

just curious: what is the point of managing a "private" instance of galaxy ?

Access to non public data on your institution or group own storage and compute.

well, managing galaxy is part of the bioinformatician job.

Try asking on the Galaxy Help forum: https://help.galaxyproject.org/ or on gitter: https://gitter.im/galaxyproject/Lobby
