What type of jobs are best suited to run on Triton?
Triton is designed to support jobs that require very large amounts of memory. The eight PDAFM nodes each have 512 gigabytes of memory, which is more than most HPC platforms available today anywhere in the research community. Triton is also best utilized for parallel jobs that use multiple processing cores simultaneously rather than serial jobs that run on single processing cores. However, single-CPU jobs can be run on Triton, either by accessing the “shared” queue or by paying a premium for allocation of multiple processing cores. To run multiple serial jobs with a single job submission request, see the documentation on bundling at the Bundling Serial Jobs page.
