System partitions
To determine which partitions (queues) exist on a cluster you can use the sinfo -s
command. Below is the command output from Cyclone.
sinfo -s

gpu up 1-00:00:00 16/0/0/16 gpu[01-16]
The command shows the partition name, status, maximum time limit, node availability and node list.

Applications submitted via the general open-access process are allocated resources on the Cyclone system's cpu and gpu partitions. While the other partitions are dedicated to specific projects, researchers interested in utilizing these advanced resources (e.g., a100, milan) are encouraged to contact us to explore potential collaboration opportunities.
