DCS 2024 Partition Software and notes¶

The 'dcs-2024' partition has been created to support a more modernized set of drivers and software. There are currently 45 nodes in the partition, but this will be slowly expanded to the entire cluster over time.

Please send any problems encountered, complaints or ideas to cci-support@rpi.edu.

Using the dcs-2024 partition¶

There are currently no front-end node with this software update. Use the “interactive” QoS to allocate a node on 'dcs-2024' for development, testing or compiling purposes.

There are two ways to access the dcs-2024 partition:

Add "-p dcs-2024" to your salloc command
Specify "#SBATCH -p dcs-2024" in your sbatch script
