Multiuser

Resource quotas and limitations

Inside the Slurm cluster, users are part of one logical group called Account. Via this account users can access different partitions inside the cluster. slurm_quota

Generally speaking, different quotas can and will be applied for different partitions both at user and at job level, but currently the same limitations are set for each partition:

  • limitations per user

    • only 1 job can run by a given user at by at the same time
    • only 3 jobs can be scheduled by a given user at the same time
    • one user can only take up 100GB of storage on the shared NFS /storage
    • to check the storage space available, please use the quota -u $USER -s command

  • limitations per job

    • the grace time for job execution
    • in case of batch partitions it is 1 day (24 hours), after that, the given job will be killed
    • in case of interactive partitions it is 7 days, after that, the given job will be killed

This configuration ensures the fair share and utilization of computational and storage resources among the users.
