Partition Use Cases

Partition Name	Use Cases
priority	Treat as default CPU queue Long running, non-interruptible jobs When cluster is heavily utilized (minimal wait time)
unsafe	Run more jobs than priority but could be interrupted Good when the cluster in not heavily utilized Smaller / shorter jobs Higher throughput Job arrays (lots of small jobs) Resumable jobs
test	Quick and small test queue
gpupriority	Treat as default GPU queue Long running, non-interruptible jobs When cluster is heavily utilized (minimal wait time) A40 < A100 for compute A40 45GB > A100 40GB VRAM
gpuunsafe	Run more jobs than gpupriority but could be interrupted Good when most GPUs are not allocated Smaller / shorter jobs Higher throughput
gputest	Quick and small GPU test queue
nextgen	Large jobs that use many CPUs Big MPI jobs Large jobs with high memory usage
nextgen-long	One group can use up to one full node for 14 Days Good for long running jobs Jobs that would take a long time on priority
nextgen-gpu	Multi-GPU jobs are much faster Up to 4 GPUs at once AI/ML workloads Jobs that use many CPUs, lots of RAM, and GPUs GPU jobs that can be checkpointed
nextgen-gpu-long	Long-running GPU lobs Multi-GPU jobs are much faster Up to 4 GPUs at once AI/ML workloads Jobs that use many CPUs, lots of RAM, and GPUs
legacy	Many small jobs / large job arrays Utilizing unused resources
