Greetins NERSC SP User,
As I write this (13:10 PST), there are about 3 hours left
before Seaborg goes down for maintenance. There are about
120 nodes idle. There are *NO* jobs currently in the backfill
class (the only class allowed to start jobs at this time).
This is a great opportunity to get some quick turnaround for
medium-parallel, under 3 hour jobs. To submit a job to the
backfill class, add this to your batch script:
#@class = backfill
This class has a 4 hour time limit. Jobs still running at
16:00 today will be discarded, as will any pending jobs in the
backfill class.
If you have any questions, please contact NERSC consulting at:
