Partitions

Job allocations at JUSTUS 2 are routed automatically to the most suitable compute node(s) that fulfill the requested resources (e.g. amount of cores, memory, local scratch space). This is to prevent fragmentation of the cluster system and to ensure most efficient usage of available compute resources. There is no need to request a specific partition in in your batch job scripts, i.e. do not specify "-p, --partition=<partition_name>" on job submission.
