[Neolith-users] Idle nodes - run short jobs!

[PärAndersson]

Hi,

The planned downtime starts tomorrow at 07:00. Jobs with walltime limits
that can't finish before are delayed until after the downtime is
over. This can be seen on the scheduler status web page[1].

Currenyly 404 out of the 805 compute nodes are idle. If you have short
jobs then today is a great day to run them and fill up those idle nodes.

Today is also good for scalability tests. How well does your job scale
if you double the number of compute nodes? Find out today! As long as
you specify short walltimes getting wide jobs through the queue should
be quite easy.
