Which partition to choose?If you do not request a partition, your job will be placed in the default partition, which is standard96.
The default partition cpu-clx is suitable for most calculations. The :test partitions are, as the name suggests, intended for shorter and smaller test runs. These have a higher priority and a few dedicated nodes, but provide only limited resources. Shared nodes are suitable for pre- and post-processing. A job running on a shared node is only accounted for its core fraction (cores of job / all cores per node). All non-shared nodes are exclusive to one job only at a time.
