How to see available partitions

This guide describes how to view available slurm partitions using the get_slurm_partitions function.

Prerequisites

Viewing slurm partitions

Here’s the code you’ll use to view slurm partitions available to you

view_partitions.R

library(slurmtools)

get_slurm_partitions()

This will return a list of all available partitions:

[1] "cpu2mem4gb"    "cpu4mem32gb"   "cpu8mem64gb"
[4] "cpu2mem8gb"    "cpu4mem16gb"   "cpu16mem128gb"
[7] "cpu8mem32gb"   "cpu16mem64gb"  "cpu32mem128gb"

Note

get_slurm_partitions takes an optional cache argument which is a boolean to cache the partitions into an environment. This was used as a learning experience for cahcing and has no effect on the function.
