Users should, if appropriate, request whole-node rather than per-core resources.

* Cpu and Gpu backfill partitions have been created on both clusters. If a job is submitted with <24hr runtime, it will be automatically entered into the cluster-wide backfill partition. This partition has a low priority, but will allow increased utilization of the cluster by serial jobs. ([[User:Nathanw|Nathan Wielenga]]) | |||

* | * By default, the job receives environment settings from the submitting shell. This can lead to irreproducible results if it's not what you expect. To force the job to run with a fresh-like-login environment, you can submit with --export=none or add <tt>#SBATCH --export=NONE</tt> to your job script. | ||

=== Missing symbolic links to project folders === | |||
* Upon login to the new clusters, symbolic links are supposed to be created in the user's account, as described in [[Project layout]]. Sometimes, it does not happen.
