Partitions

Partitions are logical separations of compute resources in the cluster. Each node is assigned to an owner partition and the sixhour partition.

No Default Job Partition

You must specify --partition for your job.

Owner

Each owner group has their own partition. (e.g. bi, compbio, crmda). You can view partitions you can submit to by running crctool.

Most owner partitions have a max time limit of **60-00:00:00 (60 days).

To run job in owner partition

#SBATCH --partition="owner partition"

Sixhour

Other than the owner group partitions, there is a sixhour partition. This partition will allow your jobs to go across all IDLE nodes in the cluster, but is limited to a wall time of 6 hours.

To run in the sixhour partition

#SBATCH --partition=sixhour
