XRM Slurm information
The X-ray Tomography Group (XRM) owns nodes in the Slurm cluster with restricted access. The following information is an addendum to the main Slurm article in this wiki specific for accessing these XRM nodes.
If the information you're looking for isn't available here, please consult the main Slurm article.
Hardware
The following GPU nodes are reserved for exclusive use by XRM:

Accounts and partitions
The nodes are grouped in partitions to prioritize access for different accounts:
Partition |
Nodes |
Slurm accounts with access |
Account membership |
xrmgpu.normal |
hardin01 |
xrm |
On request* for staff, guests and students |
* Please contact the technical contact of XRM to have you granted account membership
Overflow into gpu.normal
Jobs from XRM users will overflow to partition gpu.normal in case all XRM nodes are busy, as XRM is a laboratory contributing to the Slurm cluster besides owning nodes.
Rules of conduct
There are no limits imposed on resources requested by jobs. Please be polite and share available resources sensibly. If you're in need of above-average resources, please coordinate with other XRM Slurm users.
Improving the configuration
If you think the current configuration of XRM nodes, partitions etc. could be improved:
- Discuss your ideas with your colleagues
- Bring your ideas to your technical contact
The technical contact will streamline your ideas into a concrete change request which we (ISG D-ITET) will implement for you.
