## Slurm clusters
|
|
|
|
* The new Slurm CPU cluster is called [**`merlin6`**](/merlin6/cluster-introduction.html).
|
|
* The new Slurm GPU cluster is called [**`gmerlin6`**](/gmerlin6/cluster-introduction.html)
|
|
* The old Slurm *merlin* cluster is still active and best effort support is provided.
|
|
The cluster, was renamed as [**merlin5**](/merlin5/cluster-introduction.html).
|
|
|
|
From July 2019, **`merlin6`** becomes the **default Slurm cluster** and any job submitted from the login node will be submitted to that cluster if not .
|
|
* Users can keep submitting to the old *`merlin5`* computing nodes by using the option ``--cluster=merlin5``.
|
|
* Users submitting to the **`gmerlin6`** GPU cluster need to specify the option ``--cluster=gmerlin6``.

### Slurm 'merlin6'
|
|
|
|
**CPU nodes** are configured in a **Slurm** cluster, called **`merlin6`**, and
|
|
this is the _**default Slurm cluster**_. Hence, by default, if no Slurm cluster is
|
|
specified (with the `--cluster` option), this will be the cluster to which the jobs
|
|
will be sent.
