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 |

Both partitions have access to all cluster nodes.

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.
