Pre and post-processing Slurm partitions

All Regular Access or Dynamic Access projects with CPU or GPU hours on Jean Zay have access to Slurm partitions for pre and post-processing on which computing hours are not deducted from your allocation:

• The prepost partition allows you to run a job on one of the pre/post-processing nodes of Jean Zay jean-zay-pp. By default, the execution time is 2 hours and cannot exceed 20 hours (i.e. --time=HH:MM:SS ≤ 20:00:00).
• The visu partition allows you to run a job on one of the visualisation nodes of Jean Zay jean-zay-visu. By default, the execution time is 10 minutes and cannot exceed 4 hours (i.e. --time=HH:MM:SS ≤ 4:00:00).
• The compil partition is dedicated to compiling codes and libraries that cannot be done on the login node because they require too much CPU time. By default, the execution time is 2 hours and cannot exceed 20 hours (i.e. --time=HH:MM:SS ≤ 20:00:00 see below).
• The archive partition is dedicated to commands for managing massive data movements (copying or moving files, creating archives). By default, the execution time is 2 hours and cannot exceed 20 hours (i.e. --time=HH:MM:SS ≤ 20:00:00).

These partitions are accessible via Slurm by specifying the desired partition. For example, to use the prepost partition, you will need to specify:

• either the Slurm directive #SBATCH --partition=prepost in your job;
• or the option --partition=prepost of the commands sbatch, salloc or srun.
