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 uaf-rcs@alaska.edu.
