What are the policies for running small and interactive jobs?
• Single/Small CPU-count jobs • Single CPU jobs submitted to the batch queue will be allocated and charged for all eight processors on a TCC node • A set of ten nodes are designated “shared” to accomodate low CPU-count jobs. These nodes belong to the queue named small. Users will only be charged the CPUs they request, but jobs in this queue may —share— the node with other jobs to balance single CPU usage with larger jobs and limit the idling of unused processors See the Policies page for more details. • Improved Wait Times for Interactive PDAF and PDAFM Nodes • More predictable wait times for —interactive— access to large memory nodes • An new queue called express has been provisioned. It is active between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Friday • Jobs submitted to this queue should have more predictable wait times, thereby facilitating usage in interactive mode • Users will be allowed only one job in this queue at a time, with a status of either waiting or running, and a maximum run t
