Available Partitions

Name	Node Count	Max Walltime	Nodes	Other rules	Purpose
debug	2	1 hour	1-2		For debugging and trying job scripts
t1small	123	2 days	1-2		For shorter, smaller jobs with quick turnover
t1standard	123	4 days	3+	Default, always uses 3 nodes. If you need less than 3 nodes use the small partitions.	General-purpose partition
t2small	123	4 days	1-2	Tier 2 users only. Increased priority and walltime.	Tier 2 version of t1small
t2standard	123	7 days	3+	Tier 2 users only. Increased priority and walltime.	Tier 2 version of t1standard

Name	Node Count	Max Walltime	Cores	Other Rules	Purpose
analysis	3 BigMem	4 days	1-7	Shared node	For serial pre- and post-processing
bio	3 BigMem	14 days	1-7	Shared node	For high memory, low CPU jobs
transfer	1	1 day	1	Shared node	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].
