Dear users,</p>
<p>in order to minimize the amount of idle resources on DAVIDE cluster, the new<br />
partition</p>
<p>dvd_usr_preempt</p>
<p>has been defined for academic users. This partition allows to access<br />
additional nodes with respect to the allotted quantity for academic<br />
production (5 nodes), in a preemptable modality: the jobs submitted to the<br />
dvd_usr_preempt partition may be assigned nodes if available, and may be<br />
killed if the assigned resources are requested by jobs submitted to higher<br />
priority partitions (dvd_fua_prod and dvd_usr_prod); hence, we recommend its<br />
use only with restartable applications.</p>
<p>IMPORTANT NEWS: from October 7 to October 10 the five academic nodes are<br />
reserved to a GPU Hackathon, and the dvd_usr_preempt will be the only<br />
partition available for the academic (non Eurofusion) users.</p>
<p>Best regards</p>
