The RES periods are divided into three, each with a duration of 4 months:

  • The first from March 1 to July 14.
  • The second from July 1 to November 14.
  • The third one from November 1 to March 14.


The different resource limits that RES users will have are associated to different QOS (Quality Of Services). The QOS associated to the SCAYLE nodes are:

Name Priority MaxWall*
class_a 100 3-00:00:00
class_b 10 2-00:00:00
class_c 1 1-00:00:00

*MaxWall: This is the maximum time that can be requested when submitting a job (days-hours:minutes:seconds).


At the beginning of each RES period, a QOS will be assigned to each user so that they can perform their calculations. If, during the period, a user reaches the limit of hours assigned for the current period, from that moment on he/she will have to change the sending QOS. This will be notified by our Technical Dept. by sending an email.


Here we can see a simple example of a script with the parameters we need to launch it.

#!/bin/bash

#SBATCH --job-name=<JOBNAME>
#SBATCH --output <my_job.out>
#SBATCH --error <my_job.err>
#SBATCH --partition=res
#SBATCH --qos=class_a
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=16
#SBATCH --time=03:00:00
#SBATCH --mail-user=<EMAIL>
#SBATCH –-mail-type=ALL

# Your job below
srun --label hostname

For more information about the script go to the Job Manager section of the manual.


You can submit the created script using the command:

sbatch job.sh
