48h jobs
Most Compute node partitions have a maximal wall time of 12h. But large96:shared (and medium40, large40, large40:shared at Emmy only) offer 48h. During normal office hours one can request the extension of the wall time of a running job (mail with user and job ID to). Alternatively, on request () you can get special access to run 48h jobs on all partitions of Lise and/or Emmy (by adding #SBATCH -q 48h). However, we recommend special access to the 48h QoS (#SBATCH -q 48h) on last resort, only: We do not guaranty to refund your NPL on the 48h QoS if something goes wrong. Before, you should make sure that you exploited all possibilities to parallelize/speed up you code or make it restartable (see below).

If your simulation is restartable, it might be handy to automatically trigger a follow-up job. Simply provide the ID of the previous job as an additional sbatch argument:
