srun -n1 --pty --partition=scu-cpu --mem=8G bash -i

To request specific numbers of GPUs, you should add your request to your srun/sbatch:  

Below is an example of requesting 1 GPU - can request up to 4 GPUs on a single node

--gres=gpu:1

Depending on the resource request, your interactive session might start right away, or it may take a very long time to start (for the above command, the interactive session should almost always start right away).

Cluster resources (such as specific nodes, CPUs, memory, GPUs, etc.) can be assigned to groups, called partitions. Additionally, the same resources (e.g. a specific node) may belong to multiple cluster partitions. Finally, partitions may be assigned different job priority weights, so that jobs in one partition move through the job queue more quickly than jobs in another partition.

Every job submission script must request a specific partition--otherwise, the default is used. To see what partitions are available on your cluster, click here, or execute the command: sinfo
