Please Note: Special Windows

Check the current system reservations using the 'showres' command. Reservations cause a queue drain on the reserved portion of the machine (often the entire machine), and with most users commonly running the maximum allowed wallclock time of 24 hours, this provides a multiple hour window before the reservation for shorter jobs to run.

• 08:00am - 10:00am MDT Fridays - "Jumbo Fridays" window, reserved weekly for half- and full-system jobs. If there is enough demand, this window may be extended to 12 noon.
• 07:00am - 12:00pm MDT Wednesdays - Announced in advance if required: System Maintenance window
• 10:00am - 12:00pm MDT Fridays - Announced in advance if required: Short system maintenance tasks and special job runs immediately following the Jumbo Fridays
