- DAVIDE: new job preemption...
Dear users,
in order to minimize the amount of idle resources on DAVIDE cluster, the new partition
dvd_usr_preempt
has been defined for academic users. This partition allows to access additional nodes with respect to the allotted quantity for academic production (5 nodes), in a preemptable modality: the jobs submitted to the dvd_usr_preempt partition may be assigned nodes if available, and may be killed if the assigned resources are requested by jobs submitted to higher priority partitions (dvd_fua_prod and dvd_usr_prod); hence, we recommend its use only with restartable applications.
IMPORTANT NEWS: from October 7 to October 10 the five academic nodes are reserved to a GPU Hackathon, and the dvd_usr_preempt will be the only partition available for the academic (non Eurofusion) users.
