Job Limits

By default, each job you submit will be limited to run for just one day. You can change the amount of time for your job using the "-t" option. The format is;

"minutes", "minutes:seconds", "hours:minutes:seconds", "days-hours", "days-hours:minutes" and "days-hours:minutes:seconds"

e.g. to request a runtime of 5 days, use

  • sbatch -A other_mvz -p cpu -N 1 --ntasks-per-node=16 -t 5-0 run.slurm

To request 6 hours, use

  • sbatch -A other_mvz -p cpu -N 1 --ntasks-per-node=16 -t 6:0:0 run.slurm

To request 10 days and 12 hours and 30 minutes, use

  • sbatch -A other_mvz -p cpu -N 1 --ntasks-per-node=16 -t 10-12:30 run.slurm

Note that the maximum amount of time you can request on any queue is 15 days.
