Frequently Asked Questions

If your simulation requires a large amount of memory then you may be eligible to access a limited set of large-memory (512GB) nodes.

You can target these nodes in your submission script by specifying the memory required:

#SLURM --mem=512GB

If your simulation requires all 512GB/1TB RAM of the large-memory nodes then you should request all 40/60 cores of the large-memory nodes respectively to avoid other users from running on the same machine and using a portion of the RAM. You can request all the cores by specifying the following parallel environment in your submission script:

#SLURM -n 40 -N 1

Note that the maximum runtime for jobs using the large memory nodes is 14 days.
