Partitions (queues)

We use partitions in SLURM to manage resources in the cluster.

We have the following partitions:

Partition MaxTime DefaultTime DefMemPerCPU Max number of Nodes
short 1 day 30 min 512 MB 1
long 1 week 30 min 512 MB 1
PARA 1 week 30 min 512 MB 4

To display a straight-forward summary: available partitions, their job size, status, timelimit and node information with A/I/O/T (allocated, idle, other, and total):

sinfo -o "%.10P %.15s %.10a %.10l %.15F"

Numbers represent field length and should be used to properly accommodate the data.

See About Scicluster chapter of the documentation if you need more information on the system architecture.
