Editing QUEUES for FELIU MASERAS group (section)

== QUEUES SYSTEM MANAGEMENT==  


kimik2 manages automatically calculations sent from your computer:

1- The maximum number of calculations that each user can run at a time is 25, if you send more than that they will wait in the queue until one of your spaces is free.

2- In order to keep the sharing equality of the cluster we decided that the users cannot have more than a number of process running at the same time. 

Each member will have a number of credits "quota" that might change depending on the group circumstances: number of users and how active they are. If you notice that queues are too full or too empty for a period larger than two weeks ask Feliu's permision to encrease/decrease the quota. 

Today (Oct 2018) each member has 1080 credits of quota. The value (price in credits) of each calculation depends on the queue where it is submitted.

The prices of the queues are: 

----
  '''queue   --- nodes x credits --- credits per calc.'''
  c36m192 ---  36x3   credits --- total  96
  c28m128 ---  28x4   credits --- total 112
  c24m128 ---  24x5   credits --- total 120
  c20m128 ---  20x6   credits --- total 120
  c12m24  ---  12x5   credits --- total  60
  c8m24   ---   8x0   credits --- total   0
  c4m8    ---   4x0   credits --- total   0
  cq4m4   ---   4x0   credits --- total   0

  c12m128gpu8 --- 12x0 credits --- total 0
----

Your calculations will enter into empty queues as far as you have free credits. I.e. if you have a quota of 1080, you can have 9 calculation in the c24m128 or 18 to the c12m24. Or anything in between: 2 in c28m128 + 4 in c20m48 + 6 in c12m24.
 
3.- If you have not left quota, your calculations will wait even if there are empty machines. 

4.-If you can put calculations in hold (qhold JOBID to hold & qalter -h U to unhold), if you need others to be done before. 

5.- The small queues can be used freely up to complete the 25 slot allowance.

6.- Please use the c12m128gpu8 queue for calculations that need the gpus
