+### Submitting Pre-emptable Jobs
+
+Some GPU hardware is reserved by various groups for priority access. While the group that has
+purchased the priority access will always have immediate access, HCC makes these nodes
+available opportunistically. When not otherwise utilized, **jobs can run on these resources with the
+limitation that they may be pre-empted (i.e. killed) at any time**.
+
+To submit jobs to these resources, add the following to your srun or sbatch command:
+
+{{< highlight batch >}}
+--partition=guest_gpu --gres=gpu
+{{< /highlight >}}
+
+**In order to properly utilize pre-emptable resources, your job must be able to support
+some type of checkpoint/resume functionality.**
