Polyommatos is a server that is shared between two research groups (Benjamin Peters and Mirella Lapata's) 4 GPUs belong to Ben's group and 2 to Mirella's both groups of researchers can use the other groups GPUs but they can be preempted at any point.

The server is in it's own partition in the ICF.
polyommatos up 5-00:00:00 1 idle polyommatos

so you will need to specify the correct partition.

To submit jobs you need to choose a qos (Quality of service) appropriate to your research group.

For Ben's group

sbatch --partition=polyommatos --qos=poly_ben job.sh

For Mirella's group:

sbatch --partition=polyommatos --qos=poly_mirella job.sh

if you either wish to use all GPUs, or the other groups if they are not being used then use the poly_borrow qos, either by itself

srun --partition=polyommatos --qos=poly_borrow \
--gres=gpu:2 --pty bash

or if you would like your job to run on poly_mirella but poly_borrow as a second choice then list the qos

srun --partition=polyommatos --qos=poly_mirella,poly_borrow \
--gres=gpu:2 --pty bash

Jobs which are preempted are requeued, we would strongly advise you to checkpoint your jobs.
