astro3 Account & Partitions

astro3 uses its own Slurm account and partitions, separate from the main powerslurm cluster.

Your Account

All astro3 users are under the account:

astro3-users

This is your default account — you don't need to specify --account when submitting jobs.

Partitions

Partition Notes
workq Default partition
galaxyformation Available to all astro3 users

Both partitions have access to all cluster nodes.

Useful Commands

# View all partitions and their status
sinfo

# View partition details
scontrol show partition workq

# View your running and pending jobs
squeue -u your_username

Submitting Jobs / General Slurm Usage

For job script syntax, sbatch/srun usage, and job arrays, see the existing Running Jobs book and Common Slurm Commands reference — these apply the same way on astro3 as on the main cluster.

Coming from PBS?

If you're used to the old PBS/Torque system, see PBS to Slurm Migration for command equivalents.

Need Access?

If you believe you should have astro3 access but don't, contact the HPC team at hpc@tauex.tau.ac.il.
