To submit jobs to an owned partition, use the SLURM `--partition` option. Jobs
can either be submitted *only* to an owned partition, or to *both* the owned
partition and the general access queue. For example, assuming a partition
named `mypartition`:
{{% panel theme="info" header="Submit only to an owned partition" %}}
{{< highlight bash >}}
#SBATCH --partition=mypartition
{{< /highlight >}}
{{% /panel %}}

resources become available.

on the partition are full, then queue. Pending jobs will then start either on the owned partition
