The teaching QoS is designed exclusively for students and instructors participating in scheduled courses and workshops on Mjolnir. It provides a dedicated environment for educational use without interfering with standard research computations.
Key Features
• Max Runtime: Up to 1 day (24 hours).
• CPU Allocation: Limited to the assigned teaching node.
• Memory Allocation: Subject to available resources on the teaching node.
• Priority: Moderate (accessible only to course participants).
• Best for: Student assignments, hands-on tutorials, and practical workshops.
How to Submit a Job with the Teaching QoS
To submit a job using the teaching QoS, use the following example:
sbatch --partition=teaching --qos=teaching --cpus-per-task=2 --mem=8G --time=2:00:00 --wrap="your_command_here"
Best Practices
• Use appropriate resource requests – Avoid excessive CPU/memory requests to ensure fair sharing among students.
• Monitor job completion – Since jobs are limited to 24 hours, ensure that they complete within this timeframe.
• Only use teaching QoS for coursework – This partition is not for general computing or research projects.
When to Use Teaching QoS
✅ Running course-related scripts, assignments, and exercises.
✅ Hands-on tutorials that require computing resources.
✅ Practical workshops where students need access to HPC resources.
When NOT to Use Teaching QoS
❌ General research jobs – use normal QoS instead.
❌ Large file transfers – use the filetransfer QoS.
❌ GPU-based tasks – use the gpuqueue instead.
