Dalma Queues

SYNOPSIS

With new new scheduler SLURM, the concept of queue has changed. Now queues are referred as partitions

There are only three partitions (queues): 'parallel', 'serial' and 'preempt'

DESCRIPTION

With new new scheduler SLURM, the concept of queue has changed. Now queues are referred as partitions

There are only three partitions (queues): 'parallel', 'serial' and 'preempt'

With Slurm is possible to use the old qsub command (although compatibility is not 100% guaranteed) which means that some of the old queues could still work. In this case they will be redirected to either 'serial' or 'parallel':

- s48 --> serial
- adserial --> serial
- p24 --> parallel 
- adparallel --> parallel 

Now there is no 'interactive' queue anymore. Interactive jobs can be started either in 'parallel' or 'serial'

There is no more 'gpu' or 'bigmem' queues

EXAMPLES

The correct way to select a partition (queue) is with the -p option in the submission script:

#SBATCH -p parallel

or

#SBATCH -p serial

If the user has an old PBS script the following may still work:

#PBS -q p24

But remember that in this case will be redirected to the partition 'parallel'
