Deepthought is the brand new HPC for Flinders University SA, and available for Flinders Colleges to utilise. The following details the system specifications and node types that are present within the HPC.
The SLURM Scheduler as the notion of 'Job Queue' or 'Partitions'. These manage resource allocations and job scheduling independent from on-another. At this time, there is a single job-queue for general usage. As resource usage patterns are identified, this may change.
Partition Name | Number of Nodes | Usage / Purpose | Max Runtime |
---|---|---|---|
general | 17 | General Usage Pool | 14 Days |
gpu | 3 | GPU Access Pool | 14 Days |
melfu | 2 | Molecular Biology Lab | 14 Days |
