partition and time limit flags

[tkphd]

In order to "be kind to the scheduler," it's good practice to specify, at absolute minimum, which partition a job will run on, and the upper bound on how much time it should take.

• Add partition and time limit flags to the "example job", and propagate throughout.

Thanks for moving this over. I'll mark this with help wanted so that potential newcomers know where to potentially start.

Hi @psteinb, this is quite an old Issue but I'd like to contribute to HPC Carpentry and was wondering if this is something I could do, given the 'help wanted' label you suggested be added here - or have things moved on a lot since this was opened? Thanks for your advice.

Dear @sadielbartholomew,
thanks for chiming in. I've become a positive and supportive lurker of the project. I think it would be best, if the present maintainer comment on that @ocaisa and @reid-a.
Cheers, P

Hi @sadielbartholomew -- getting a fresh pair of eyes on this issue is certainly valuable, so I'd strongly encourage you to engage if you have the bandwdith. There have of course been a number of edits over the time since this issue was opened, and it might be obsolete, I'm honestly not sure myself.

Another engagement opportunity is our regular community calls -- as I write this, we have one coming up in 10 minutes. They are announced on the #hpc-carpentry channel on the Carpentries slack, and on the discuss-hpc Carpentries e-mail list. The slack is here, I think if you go that URL and you aren't already on it, you can join?

Sorry for the vagueness about the logistics, but more engagement is welcome, on this issue or elsewhere.

Edit: To join the Carpentries slack, use this link, it kicks off an invitation workflow.
