Memory may be requested with <code>--mem-per-cpu</code> (memory per core) or <code>--mem</code> (memory per node).  On general-purpose (GP) clusters a default memory amount of 256 MB per core will be allocated unless you make some other request.  On [[Niagara]], only whole nodes are allocated along with all available memory, so a memory specification is not required there.

You can start an interactive session on a compute node with [https://slurm.schedmd.com/salloc.html salloc]. In the following example we request two tasks, which corresponds to two CPU cores and three GB of memory, for an hour:

Output from a non-interactive Slurm job is normally <i>buffered</i>, which means that there is usually a delay between when data is written by the job and when you can see the output on a login node.  Depending on the application you are running and the load on the filesystem, this delay can range from less than a second to many minutes, or until the job completes.
