  • Please contact Patrick Emonts or Jordi Tura to confirm the request to us

• Users need to be a member of the group gpu_lion and have access to the account gpu_lion

  • you can check whether you a member of the group by running the command id on the command line

Partition Settings

Partition settings can be changed to adjust the need of the group. Requests for changes can be done either by the PI or by a group member with confirmation from the PI and should be send to the ALICE Helpdesk.

• users have to use their account gpu_lion for running jobs. This is necessary so that usage of this account does not impact the fairshare of other users.

  • In your batch script, you have to add: #SBATCH --account=gpu_lion

    • For other jobs on ALICE, your regular ALICE account is sufficient and you do not need to set this
