For the complete documentation, see this list of system partitions.

Unity is split into multiple partitions. In order to use a specific partition, use the following flag in your job submissions:

-p <partition name>

It is also possible to specify a list of partitions. For shortest wait times, and best quality of service, use one of the following:

For CPU jobs lasting up to two days:
-p uri-cpu,cpu,cpu-preempt
For CPU jobs lasting more than two days specify the long qos:
-p uri-cpu,cpu-preempt -q long
For GPU jobs lasting up to two days:
-p uri-gpu,gpu,gpu-preempt
For GPU jobs lasting more than two days specify the long qos:
-p uri-gpu,gpu-preempt -q long

Note that if the other queues are busy and your job ends up in the preempt queue, then the job may be terminated after two hours of running if the resources need to be reclaimed for the purchasers of those nodes. (This also happens for non-URI users using our nodes as preempt.)

Partitions

All general partitions except preempt partitions have a hard limit of 1000 CPUs and 64 GPUs per lab . URI members have access to two priority partitions: uri-cpu and uri-gpu that have different limits.

Note: Interactive jobs are limited to 8 hours. Use Batch jobs for longer work.
