SouthPass is a special partition on the cluster, currently with up to two nodes available, and a total of (2 x 28 =) 56 cpus.
Whenever a user starts an interactive GUI Desktop they are actually requesting a Slurm job across this partition. We do currently have some limit on the maximum number of users, and this will depend on what configuration users request i.e. 1/2 or 4 cpus and how they can be allocated across the nodes.
The number of current users will depend on the number of cores each individual user requests, but we have tested the service with 38 concurrent desktops running different combinations of cores.
But, when you request a Jupyter related session, this job will actually be allocated and run across the general cluster. Which nodes/partitions will depend on the specifics you’re requesting.
