High-priority jobs

This is for research groups that have purchased compute node(s) within Hoffman2 Cluster.

For purchasing information, see: https://idre.ucla.edu/service-pricing-ordering-information

  • The high-priority jobs are guaranteed to start within 24 hours (assuming the purchased nodes are not already fully occupied by other high-priority jobs).

  • The high priority jobs always (and only) run on the group’s purchased nodes.

  • A high-priority job can run up to 14 days (h_rt=336:00:00).

  • Use -l highp, in addition to other job parameters.

Things to consider:

  • Use -l highp

  • For >24 hour jobs, -l highp is the only way

  • For <=24 hour jobs, to highp or not to highp?
