Resource quotas

The default quota

We enforce a standard quota which allows each user to run 12 simultaneous jobs, with a maximum of 12 GPU's. An unlimited number of jobs can be queued.

Name Max jobs Max GPU's Access requirement Special notes
Default 12 12 None -

Beyond the default quota

Once you have submitted the maximum number of jobs allowed by the default quota, you can launch additional jobs in other access modes:

Name Additional max jobs Additional max GPU's Access requirement Special notes
Deadline 12 12 Approved applicants Requires application
Unprivileged Infinite Infinite None Jobs are preemptible
AI Centre Infinite Infinite AI Center affiliation -

Deadline access

In case you are working under a deadline, it's possible to apply for deadline resources. This is effectively a doubling of the default quota, which grants you access to additional resources for a limited time - totalling to 24 jobs running simultaneously and 24 GPU's for up to 14 days. Once granted it is not possible to reapply for another 14 says.

This option is not meant to become a permanent solution for research projects with large resource needs - if this is the case with your research project, we encourage you to consider applying for a grant at an external HPC facility. Read more about that oppurtunity on our page for External HPC.

Unprivileged access

It's possible to run an unlimited number of jobs in unprivileged mode. You must however understand, that your jobs can be interrupted if a request is made for the same resources. Once they free up again, your job is automatically requeued.

Proprietary nodes

Resarchers with affiliation to the Pioneer Centre for AI can be granted special access to the aicentre and aicentre-a100 partitions. If you are affiliated with this group, speak to your group leader about this.
