  • Submitting a sim to Deadline - Sim fails but registers as "Complete"

    So this is something that took me forever to solve, but I wanted to note it here in case there's a way to fix it in an update. If a node in Deadline picks up a simulation job but it doesn't have enough memory for pre-allocation, it doesn't give you an error. It just marks the job "Complete" without trying to sim.

    Steps to repeat the problem:

    -RAM pre-allocation turned on for adaptive grid
    -Submit job to Deadline as .max file
    -Job is picked up by a node that doesn't have enough RAM (for example, resim with grid resolution set too high)
    -Job fails due to insufficient RAM, but Deadline registers it as "Complete"
    -No error in Deadline

    Thanks a lot for the report! Indeed it's a tricky one to catch and I hope we can improve the logging at least.
