Dealing with Multiple Accounts/Projects

Some research groups may have multiple projects (corresponding to multiple grants, or for record-keeping, etc). In Slurm (Picotte), this is known as an "account".

Selecting an Account

If a user has access to multiple accounts, they are allowed to submit jobs under any of those accounts. Accounts are typically named "...Prj". Account names are case-insensitive, i.e. "somethingPrj" is identical to "somethingprj" is identical to "SomeThingPrj".

#SBATCH --account=somethingPrj

Storing Data

Each account should have a corresponding group data directory:

/ifs/groups/somethingGrp /ifs/groups/otherGrp
