Not all the accounts can be used on all partitions. This is resumed in the table below:

By default, all users belong to the `merlin` and `gwendolen` Slurm accounts.
By default, all users belong to the `merlin` Slurm accounts, and jobs are submitted to the `gpu` partition when no partition is defined.
Users only need to specify `gwendolen` when using `gwendolen`, otherwise specfying account is not needed (it will always default to `merlin`). `gwendolen` is a special account, with two different **QoS** granting different types of access (see details below).
Users only need to specify the `gwendolen` account when using the `gwendolen` or `gwendolen_long` partitions, otherwise specifying account is not needed (it will always default to `merlin`).
#### The 'gwendolen' account
For running jobs in the **`gwendolen`** partition, users must specify the `gwendolen` account. The `merlin` account is not allowed to use the `gwendolen` partition.
For running jobs in the **`gwendolen`/`gwendolen_long`** partitions, users must specify the **`gwendolen`** account.
The `merlin` account is not allowed to use the Gwendolen partitions.
In addition, in Slurm there is the concept of **QoS**, which stands for **Quality of Service**. The **`gwendolen`** account has two different QoS configured:
* The **QoS** **`gwendolen_public`** is set by default to all Merlin users. This restricts the number of resources than can be used on **Gwendolen**. For further information about restrictions, please read the ['User and Job Limits'](/gmerlin6/slurm-configuration.html#user-and-job-limits) documentation.
* The **QoS** **`gwendolen`** provides full access to **`gwendolen`**, however this is restricted to a set of users belonging to the **`unx-gwendolen`** Unix group.
Users don't need to specify any QoS, however, they need to be aware about resources restrictions. If you belong to one of the projects which is allowed to use **Gwendolen** without restrictions, please request access to the **`unx-gwendolen`** through [PSI Service Now](https://psi.service-now.com/).
Gwendolen is restricted to a set of users belonging to the **`unx-gwendolen`** Unix group. If you belong to a project allowed to use **Gwendolen**, or you are a user which would like to have access to it, please request access to the **`unx-gwendolen`** Unix group through [PSI Service Now](https://psi.service-now.com/): the request will be redirected to the responsible of the project (Andreas Adelmann).

The **`gmerlin6`** cluster contains the partitions `gwendolen` and `gwendolen_long`, which have a node with Hyper-Threading enabled.
In that case, one should always specify whether to use Hyper-Threading or not. If not defined, Slurm will
generally use it (exceptions apply). For this machine, generally HT is recommended.
