Account Resource Limits

The following tables outline the usage limits for specific account types.

Linux Computing Resource

Time on the Linux Computing Resource will be allocated in Node Wall Clock Hours (NWCH). The use of 10 nodes for 3 hours is counted as 30 NWCH.

Linux Allocation Maximum NWCH (per year) Application/Allocation Process
Small200Processed within two weeks
LargeNo limit*Proposal reviewed by Allocation Committee

Scheduling Strategy

In general, jobs will be run (or be scheduled) on a first-come, first-served basis within a queue, provided that adequate resources are available. To maximize the use of computing resources, HPCC management (in consultation with the HPCC allocation committee) may restrict the number of jobs concurrently executed within a given account (Linux Computing Resource only).
