Dear Vagn users,

Now four of the six analysis nodes are available
for your jobs.

If you want to run an application interactively
and will not use more than four GB of memory
(of the 32 GB of the analysis node), I recommend
that you begin with allocating one core of a
compute node, like

	interactive -t 8:00:00

for eight hours of work.

If you will use more than four GB of memory,
for the same amount of time, you allocate a full
node for yourself with

	interactive -t 8:00:00 -p noshare

If you run a batch job, the same guidelines apply,
i.e. your batch script needs to specify

	#SBATCH -p noshare

if you use more than four GB of memory and thus
cannot share the node with other jobs. (If your
job can share a node, you need no such line.)

If you have any questions or comments, please
direct them to the e-mail address
