AlphaFold Stuck at hhblits Step on Cluster Compute Node

Issue Description:
I am experiencing a problem running AlphaFold on a compute node in our cluster. The process consistently gets stuck at the hhblits step. However, when I run the same program directly on the login node, it proceeds without any issues. The issue arises specifically when submitting the job to the compute node - it hangs at "- 22:54:01.709 INFO: Prefiltering database" and does not progress further.

Additionally, system call tracing shows repeated occurrences of the following:

futex(0x2b5ff13dd634, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 4294967295, NULL) = 0
futex(0x2b5ff13dd634, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 1) = 0
...
During this time, there is no additional memory load, and the GPU does not appear to be computing, although the program itself seems to have a load.

login node can output normally like this:
