EXTENDED: Roar Collab “Short Partition” Offers Free 4X Bursting

Posted on July 31, 2024

ICDS is pleased to announce the extended availability of the Roar Collab “short partition” which allows users to submit short run jobs utilizing up to 4X the resources available through the Open Queue. This free resource will be available until the October 25 outage.

“Users will be able to access a larger number of cores,” Carrie Brown, Penn State Institute for Computational and Data Sciences (ICDS) research computing facilitator. “This will be beneficial for testing purposes as well as highly-parallelized jobs that don’t need long run times. Users will be able to do a lot of different jobs with shorter runs.”

The details:

  • Submit jobs using sbatch -p short .
  • Request up to 400 cores and 3200GB of total memory.
  • Limited to 1 hour of runtime per job; jobs will not be preempted and will run to completion.
  • Not available through the Open OnDemand portal.
  • Jobs submitted to this queue do not count against your paid allocation.
