Available Partitions

Name	Nodecount	Max walltime	Nodes/Threads per job (min-max)	Other rules	Purpose
debug	2	1 hour	1-2 nodes		For debugging job scripts
t1small	118	2 days	1-2 nodes		For short, small jobs with quick turnover
t1standard	118	4 days	3-48 threads	Default	General-purpose partition
t2small	118	4 days	1-2 node	Tier 2 users only. Increased priority and walltime.	Tier 2 version of t1small
t2standard	118	7 days	3-48 threads	Tier 2 users only. Increased priority and walltime.	Tier 2 general-purpose partition
gpu	2	2 days	1-2 nodes		For jobs using the GPUs
bio	3 BigMem	14 days	1-7 threads per job		For high memory, low CPU jobs
analysis	3 BigMem	4 days	1-7 threads per job		For serial, post-processing and data analysis
transfer	1	1 day	1 node	Shared use	Copy files between archival storage and scratch space

Selecting a partition is done by adding a directive to the job submission script such as #SBATCH --partition=t1standard, or on the command line: $ sbatch -p t1standard

Please note: When running a job in the analysis or bio partition the --mem SBATCH directive must be set as to not affect other users' work. Adding: #SBATCH --mem=214G is the RCS recommendation

Anyone interested in gaining access to the higher-priority Tier 2 partitions (t2small, t2standard) by subscribing to support the cluster or procuring additional compute capacity should contact [e-mail].
