Comments:

  • All jobs have resources defined in Slurm per partition and per QoS (Quality of Service) by default. You can modify the limits by specifying another partition and / or QoS as shown in our documentation detailing the partitions and Qos.
  • For multi-project users and those having both CPU and GPU hours, it is necessary to specify the project accounting (hours allocation for the project) for which to count the job's computing hours as indicated in our documentation detailing the project hours management.
