You should see
cees
nn9244k
In addition to these two, you can also submit jobs to the (small!) 'uio' queue
When submitting a job to the slurm queue, you may see a warning similar to this one:
-- Warning: The specified project, nn9244k, is almost out of CPU hours, using 92% of CPU grant. If you think this is incorrect, please contact us at [email protected]
Remember that when a job is set up for X CPUs for Y hours, the queueing system reserves X*Y hours for your job, even though it may take much fewer hours. All running and waiting jobs are counted towards the hours 'reserved'. If you check with this command:
cost -p nn9244k
you will see that there are not enough hours 'available' for your job. This usually only happens at the end of an allocation period (March and September).
Solutions:
- set up your job so that it reserves fewer hours
- ask others to do the same
- switch to the 'cees' queue
- wait for the new allocation period (April 1st or October 1st)
- if it is still early in the allocation period, suggest we ask for more hours
Some of the MAC users experience a warning when logging in to abel mentioning LC_CTYPE or something similar. Please have a look here for the solution.
