Current User Load

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.
