### Guest Partition
### Guest Partition(s)
The `guest` partition can be used by users and groups that do not own
dedicated resources on Swan. Jobs running in the `guest` partition
will run on the owned resources with Intel OPA interconnect. The jobs
are preempted when the resources are needed by the resource owners and
are restarted on another node.
are preempted when the resources are needed by the resource owners:
guest jobs will be killed and returned to the queue in a pending state
until they can be started on another node.
HCC recommends verifying job behavior will support the restart and
modifying job scripts if necessary.
To submit your job to the guest partition add the line
{{% panel theme="info" header="Submit to guest partition" %}}
{{< highlight bash >}}
#SBATCH --partition=guest
{{< /highlight >}}
{{% /panel %}}
to your submit script.
Owned GPU resources may also be accessed in an opportunistic manner by
submitting to the `guest_gpu` partition. Similar to `guest`, jobs are
preempted when the GPU resources are needed by the owners. To submit
your job to the `guest_gpu` partition, add the lines
{{% panel theme="info" header="Submit to guest_gpu partition" %}}
{{< highlight bash >}}
#SBATCH --partition=guest_gpu
#SBATCH --gres=gpu
{{< /highlight >}}
{{% /panel %}}
to your SLURM script.
#### Preventing job restart
By default, jobs on the `guest` partition will be restarted elsewhere when they
are preempted. To prevent preempted jobs from being restarted add the line
{{% panel theme="info" header="Prevent job restart on guest partition" %}}
{{< highlight bash >}}
#SBATCH --no-requeue
{{< /highlight >}}
{{% /panel %}}
to your SLURM submit file.
