    • Please refer to Cray's System Administration Guide for more details about using suspend/resume on Cray X* series
  • On Cray X* series system PBS issues a request to ALPS to switch IN (resume) or OUT (suspend) an ALPS reservation
  • On a Cray X* series, the suspended low priority job and the high priority job must fit into the Cray compute node’s memory
  • On a Cray X* series systems have a limitation of having at maximum of 4 co-resident jobs on a compute node. Please read Cray documentation for more details.
