By design, Cedar supports multiple simultaneous parallel jobs of up to 1024 | By design, Cedar supports multiple simultaneous parallel jobs of up to 1024 Broadwell cores (32 nodes) or 1536 Skylake cores (32 nodes) or 1536 Cascade Lake cores (32 nodes) in a fully non-blocking manner. For larger jobs the interconnect has a 2:1 blocking factor, i.e., even for jobs running on several thousand cores, Cedar provides a high-performance interconnect. | ||

A number of 48-core nodes are reserved for jobs that require whole nodes. There are no 32-core nodes set aside for whole node processing. <b>Jobs that request less than 48 cores per node can end up sharing nodes with other jobs.</b><br> | A number of 48-core nodes are reserved for jobs that require whole nodes.

Most applications will run on either Broadwell or Skylake or Cascade Lake nodes, and performance differences are expected to be small compared to job waiting times. Therefore we recommend that you do not select a specific node type for your jobs. If it is necessary, use <code>--constraint=cascade</code>, <code>--constraint=skylake</code> or <code>--constraint=broadwell</code>. If the requirement is for any AVX512 node, use <code>--constraint=[skylake|cascade]</code> | Most applications will run on either Broadwell or Skylake or Cascade Lake nodes, and performance differences are expected to be small compared to job waiting times.
