Partitions
==========

The 316 Finis Terrae II nodes are grouped into partitions that are
logical sets of nodes to which jobs can be submitted.

By default, all jobs are sent to the **thin-shared** partition
made up of a small number of standard nodes. The use is
shared between different jobs demanding a number of cores less than those available in a node (24).
For parallel jobs demanding multiple nodes the **thinnodes** should be used. 
It is formed by standard nodes with exclusive use, so only one job can run on each node simultaneously. 
To submit jobs to these nodes, the option **-p thinnodes** must be used.

Additional integrated nodes are grouped into their own partitions
(**shared**, **gpu-shared-k2**, ...), so to use these nodes
you will need to specify the desired partition with the **-p** option
indicated above.

The same happens with AMD nodes, which are grouped in the partition
**amd-shared**, or with CL-INTEL nodes grouped in the partition
**cl-intel-shared**.
