CHPC ANNOUNCEMENT: New redwood-shared-short partition
Date Posted: February 16, 2022
PE Users:
We have added a new redwood-shared-short partition on redwood, equivalent to the previously deployed notchpeak-shared-short nodes on the notchpeak cluster, using two nodes repurposed from the redwood partition, following the addition of two new nodes, each 64 cores (AMD) and 512 GB memory, to the redwood partition.
The two redwood-shared-short nodes each have 28 physical cores and 128 GB memory.
These nodes are set up to maximize the throughput of short jobs. The nodes are available for use by all users, regardless of a user's access to a general allocation;
the use of these nodes will not count against any allocation. To use set both the
partition and the account to redwood-shared-short. This partition has also been added as an option when launching a job using the
pe-ondemand instance.
As node sharing is being used – users MUST specify the number of cores and the amount
of memory – see https://www.chpc.utah.edu/documentation/software/node-sharing.php for additional details.
Use of these nodes is limited to the following constraints:
- Maximum wall time is 8 hours
- Maximum running jobs per user is 2
- Maximum cores per user is 8
- Maximum memory per user is 32 GB
- Maximum cores per job is 8
- Maximum memory per job is 32 GB
