New queues on Big Red and Quarry
Big Red has a new SERIAL queue that includes all the nodes from the NORMAL and LONG queues. This will allow users to submit to the SERIAL queue single node jobs that are ideal for backfilling without having to choose which queue will start a batch job sooner. An IEDC queue has also been added that will allow private corporations access to Big Red through the Indiana Economic Development Corporation in partnership with Purdue University.
Quarry also has a serial queue to serve the same purpose that includes all the nodes from the normal and long queues in addition to 5 dedicated nodes. A normal queue has also been added for jobs less than 7 days and includes 33 dedicated nodes in addition to the nodes from the long queue. In order to make these changes possible the long queue has been reduced to 42 nodes.
