The cpuqueue is the default partition for general computational jobs on Mjolnir. This queue is designed for CPU-based workloads, supporting various research applications.
Key Features
• Max Runtime: Up to 14 days (336 hours).
• Max CPU Allocation: Up to 96 CPUs per user.
• Memory Limit: No hard limit, but subject to available resources.
• Priority: Standard fair-share based scheduling.
• Best for: Regular computational workloads, bioinformatics pipelines, and large-scale simulations.
How to Submit a Job to the CPU Queue
To submit a job using the cpuqueue, use the following example:
sbatch --partition=cpuqueue --qos=normal --cpus-per-task=4 --mem=32G --time=12:00:00 --wrap="your_command_here"
Best Practices
• Request only the CPU and memory needed to optimize scheduling.
• For multi-threaded applications, adjust --cpus-per-task accordingly.
• Avoid running large file transfers with this QoS —use the filetransfer QoS instead.
