Due to delays with hardware delivery caused by global supply chain shortages, this planned change will not be carried out during the July 20 maintenance.

This conversion will be performed at a later date (TBD pending hardware delivery). Please continue using your current queues after the maintenance on July 20th.

To support the expansion of Gilbreth and related pricing changes, there will be several changes to queues on Gilbreth. These changes are designed to increase the availability of GPUs on Gilbreth and reduce wait time:

• Each lab/PI will have a named queue with at least one GPU. This is typically named after the PI or the group.
  • If you previously had access to a named queue for your lab/PI, the name of the queue and the quantity of GPUs will remain the same.
  • If you previously had subscription access to the shared partner queue only, you will now have access to a new, named queue with one A10 or A30 GPU.
• The partner, long, and highmem shared queues will be removed. Instead, all researchers may choose to submit jobs to their named lab/PI queue or to the new shared queue, standby. The standby queue will function the same as standby on other community clusters, and offer access to GPU nodes beyond those in the purchased named queues for the group. This replaces the functionality of the shared queues being retired.

To learn which queues you can submit jobs to, use the slist command in a terminal. You may need to edit your job scripts to change the queue name.
