Checking the current limits on ARC is recommended before planning a new series of computations, especially if GPUs are required for the computations.
The current limits can be shown by the arc.limits command:

The table shows the list of partitions and set limits for each of the partitions.
- Flags column shows settings that determine if the job may be accepted or denied if the resource request is over the limit.
- MaxTRES -- the maximum traceable resources, maximal amount of resources allowed per job on this partition.
- MaxWall -- the maximal wall time for a job, the longest time a job is allowed to run on this partition.
- MaxTRESPU -- maximum traceable resources per user, the total maximal amount of resources allowed per single user on the partition. If the limit is reached the resource requests above the limit will have to wait in the queue until some resources are freed by currently running jobs.
- MaxSubmitPU -- maximal number of jobs submitted to this partition. SLURM will reject any jobs above this limit. Please note, that there is also a global limit of 4000 jobs per user for the entire cluster.
- MinTRES -- minimal amount of resources in job's resource request that is required for a job to be accepted. Relevant on GPU partition, as jobs are expected to request at least one GPU to qualify to run on a GPU partition.
For example, the gpu-v100 partition is limited to 4000 jobs per user and the maximum run time is limited to 24 hours.
The job must request at least 1 GPU, but not more than 4 GPUs.
The total number of GPUs working for a single user's jobs is limited to 8.
If the resource request of a submitted job is over the limit, the job will be rejected.
