Slurm Partition Overview
The Discovery Cluster utilizes several Slurm partitions to allocate computing resources for different workloads. Each partition may have multiple entries indicating current availability, time limits, number of nodes, states, and node lists.
Below is a detailed breakdown of the partitions from the current cluster status (sinfo output):
