Partitions and Hardware

MERCED is made up of several kinds of compute nodes. We group them into (sometimes overlapping) Slurm partitions meant to serve different purposes. By combining the --partition and --constraint. Slurm options you can more finely control what nodes your jobs can run on.

Request Defaults

Unless specified, your jobs will run with the following options to srun and sbatch options for these partitions.

--partition std.q, --time=1-00:00:00 --nodes=1 --ntasks=1 --cpus-per-task=1
