Groups of computational nodes are connected to chassis integrated Infiniband switches. These switches form the leaf switch layer of the [Infiniband network](/anselm/network/) fat tree topology. Nodes sharing the leaf switch can communicate most efficiently. Sharing the same switch prevents hops in the network and facilitates unbiased, highly efficient network communication.

The resources are allocated to the job in a fair-share fashion, subject to constraints set by the queue and the resources available to the Project. The Fair-share system of Anselm ensures that individual users may consume approximately equal amounts of resources per week.

This does not apply to Director's Discretion projects (DD projects) by default. Usage of qfree after exhaustion of DD projects' computational resources is allowed after request for this queue.
**The qexp queue is equipped with nodes which do not have exactly the same CPU clock speed.** Should you need the nodes to have exactly the same CPU speed, you have to select the proper nodes during the PSB job submission.
* **qexp**, the Express queue: This queue is dedicated to testing and running very small jobs. It is not required to specify a project to enter the qexp. There are always 2 nodes reserved for this queue (w/o accelerators), a maximum 8 nodes are available via the qexp for a particular user, from a pool of nodes containing Nvidia accelerated nodes (cn181-203), MIC accelerated nodes (cn204-207) and Fat nodes with 512GB of RAM (cn208-209). This enables us to test and tune accelerated code and code with higher RAM requirements. The nodes may be allocated on a per core basis. No special authorization is required to use qexp. The maximum runtime in qexp is 1 hour.
* **qprod**, the Production queue: This queue is intended for normal production runs. It is required that an active project with nonzero remaining resources is specified to enter the qprod. All nodes may be accessed via the qprod queue, except the reserved ones. 178 nodes without accelerators are included. Full nodes, 16 cores per node, are allocated. The queue runs with medium priority and no special authorization is required to use it. The maximum runtime in qprod is 48 hours.
* **qlong**, the Long queue: This queue is intended for long production runs. It is required that an active project with nonzero remaining resources is specified to enter the qlong. Only 60 nodes without acceleration may be accessed via the qlong queue. Full nodes, 16 cores per node, are allocated. The queue runs with medium priority and no special authorization is required to use it. The maximum runtime in qlong is 144 hours (three times that of the standard qprod time - 3 x 48 h).
* **qnvidia**, qmic, qfat, the Dedicated queues: The queue qnvidia is dedicated to accessing the Nvidia accelerated nodes, the qmic to accessing MIC nodes and qfat the Fat nodes. It is required that an active project with nonzero remaining resources is specified to enter these queues. 23 nvidia, 4 mic, and 2 fat nodes are included. Full nodes, 16 cores per node, are allocated. The queues run with very high priority, the jobs will be scheduled before the jobs coming from the qexp queue.

It is required that active project is specified to enter the queue. Consumed resources will be accounted to the Project. Access to the qfree queue is automatically removed if consumed resources exceed 120% of the resources allocated to the Project. Only 180 nodes without accelerators may be accessed from this queue. Full nodes, 16 cores per node, are allocated. The queue runs with very low priority and no special authorization is required to use it. The maximum runtime in qfree is 12 hours.
## Queue Notes
The job wall clock time defaults to **half the maximum time**, see the table above. Longer wall time limits can be [set manually, see examples](/anselm/job-submission-and-execution/).
The job wall clock time defaults to **half the maximum time**, see the table above. Longer wall time limits can be [set manually, see examples][3].
Jobs that exceed the reserved wall clock time (Req'd Time) get killed automatically. The wall clock time limit can be changed for queuing jobs (state Q) using the qalter command, however it cannot be changed for a running job (state R).
Anselm users may check the current queue configuration at [https://extranet.it4i.cz/anselm/queues](https://extranet.it4i.cz/anselm/queues).

In all cases, IT4Innovations’ access mechanisms are aimed at distributing computational resources while taking into account the development and application of supercomputing methods and their benefits and usefulness for society. The applicants are expected to submit a proposal. In the proposal, the applicants **apply for a particular amount of core-hours** of computational resources. The requested core-hours should be substantiated by scientific excellence of the proposal, its computational maturity and expected impacts. Proposals do undergo a scientific, technical and economic evaluation. The allocation decisions are based on this evaluation.

Certification Authority (CA) certificates are used to verify the link between your user certificate and the authority which issued it.

There's a planned upgrade of Salomon since 2018-12-04 til 2018-12-05.
!!! Warning
This upgrade will introduce a lot of changes with respect to production and user experience.
!!! Hint
You might **need** to **recompile** your binaries.
Salomon operating system will be upgraded to the latest CentOS 7.6. We will be able to support the latest software versions and keep the cluster security with upstream releases after the upgrade.
Major changes are:
* kernel will be upgraded to 3.10 (2.6.32 now)
* glibc will be upgraded to 2.17 (2.12 now)
* software modules/binaries should be recompiled or deleted
## Discontinued Modules
A new tag has been introduced. Modules tagged with **C6** might be malfunctioning. These modules might be recompiled during transition period. Keep support@it4i.cz informed on malfunctioning modules.
