Free Access

Farm and Hive both provide free/sponsored access to a limited amount of resources. The limits are:

• Farm (group name adamgrp):

  • Partition high2: the entire group has combined access to 352 CPUs and 768 GB of RAM.
  • Partition high: the entire group has combined access to 192 CPUs and 500 GB of RAM.

• Hive (group name publicgrp):

  • Partition high: the entire group has access to 128 CPUs, 2000 GB of RAM, and 4 GPUs (NVIDIA A6000s).
    • Each job is limited to a maximum of 8 CPUs, 128 GB of RAM, and 1 GPU.
    • You can access these resources by adding --account=publicgrp --partition=high to your srun or sbatch command.
  • Partition low: This partition allows access to all the unused resources in the cluster. The downside is that when a job is submitted to high that needs these resources, your job will be killed and requeued. Unless your job can do automatic check-pointing and restarting, all progress is lost when the job is killed.
    • Each job is limited to a maximum a maximum runtime of 3 days (3-00).
    • You can access these resources by adding --account=publicgrp --partition=low to your srun or sbatch command.

See here for instructions to request access to the free/sponsored resources for Farm.

On Hive, every user is automatically a member of publicgrp and has access. You may need to add --account=publicgrp to Slurm jobs to access these resources.
