Partitions

To manage the large amount of nodes on CARL and EDDY, its important to work with partitions. Partitions will optimize the way resources are given out to users and to ensure that everyone can submit jobs and receive results as fast as possible.

Since we are using SLURM as our cluster manager and job scheduling system, informations about partions can be displayed by using the command:

sinfo

The command "sinfo" has many possible options. Some important ones are:

• -a, --all

Display information about all partitions. You will even see partitions that are not available for your group and hidden partitions.

• -l, --long

desc

• -N, --Node

desc

• -n <nodes>, --nodes=<nodes>

desc
