My jobs need a long time to run. How can I get access to the partitions with a longer time limit?

You can run jobs for upto 5 days by submitting them to long partition. However, long partition is only accessible only after application approval. For more information see Partition Access Request and the RC website: https://rc.northeastern.edu/policy/

For reference, here is a list of partitions with their time limits - https://rc-docs.northeastern.edu/en/latest/hardware/partitions.html

Please note : Long partition does not support GPUs. For working with GPUs, you must submit to gpu or multigpu partition. The maximum runtime on multigpu partition is 24 hours. It is suggested to checkpoint your code if GPU runtime is more than 24 hours.
