Back to Interactive Quickstart

Back to Further Topics

Node Resources

By default the interactive command will give you an allocation to a single compute core on a node for 12 hours and a standard 4GB of RAM.

Increase CPU resources

To increase CPU resources use the flag -n<Number of cores>. 

[username@login01 ~]$ interactive -n24
salloc: Granted job allocation 306849
Job ID 306849 connecting to c174, please wait...

Increase Memory

For more memory use the flag --mem<amount>G. If a job exceeds the requested about of memory, it will terminate with an error message. 

[username@login01 ~]$ interactive --mem=24G
salloc: Granted job allocation 306852
Job ID 306852 connecting to c068, please wait...

Node Reservations

This example is for a reservation of 327889 and the partition (queue) GPU, missing the partition name will default to the compute queue. 

[username@login01 ~]$ interactive -pgpu --reservation=327889
salloc: Granted job allocation 306353
Job ID 306353 connecting to gpu04, please wait...

Exclude a node

Use -x[node] to exclude a node. 

[username@login01 ~]$ interactive -xc100,c136

This excludes node 100 and c136.

Request a node

Use -w[node] to request a node. 

[username@login01 ~]$ interactive -wc100

This requests node 100.
