Why do my jobs on gpu_p5 partition fail with "Illegal Instruction" error?
This error indicates that you have used modules or code incompatible with the AMD CPUs equipping this partition gpu_p5.
Unlike all of other Jean Zay's nodes which are equipped with Intel CPUs, the nodes in this partition are equipped with AMD CPUs, which has two consequences:
- The modules accessible by default (module avail) are not compatible with this partition. It is necessary to first load the cpuarch/amd module (module load cpuarch/amd then module avail) to be able to list and load the compatible modules.
- You also need to recompile your codes for AMD CPUs using compatible modules.
You can consult the documentation Modules compatible with the gpu_p5 partition for more information.
