Due to heterogeneous workloads and different batch requirements, we have implemented partitions in slurm, which are similar to queues.

Each partition has different default and maximum walltime limits (aka "runtime" limits). You will need to select a partition to launch your jobs in based on what kind of jobs they are and how long they are expected to run.

Partition Name Default Walltime Limit Maximum Walltime Limit Default Partition? Job Priority Maximum Nodes Utilized
short 10 minutes 1 hour Yes Normal All
medium 1 hour 12 hours No Normal 15
long 12 hours 7 days No Normal 10
high_priority 10 minutes 7 days No High All
gpu 10 minutes 7 days No Normal 6
