Greetings Seaborg User,
In support of the INCITE program, Seaborg will be running a large (350 nodes)
job starting at 18:00 PST today (Tue Dec 12). This is just over 8 hours from
now. The system is currently draining in anticipation of this job; there are
now slightly more than 120 nodes idle. Any job submitted now that requests less
than 8 hours (i.e., that is guaranteed to complete before 18:00) should start
immediately. This would be a good opportunity to get quick turnaround on
medium-sized jobs.
To see how many nodes are currently available, use this command:
% how_many_free_nodes
If you have any questions about this, please contact NERSC Consulting at:
