| **Moral of the story:** Request only the resources needed for your job. Over or under requesting resources results in wasting your allocation credits for everyone in your project/workgroup.</note> | **Moral of the story:** Request only the resources needed for your job.

| | <note important>**Interactive jobs:** An interactive job is billed the SU associated with the full wall time of its execution, not just for CPU time accrued through its duration. For example, if you leave an interactive job running for 2 hours and execute code for 2 minutes, your allocation will be billed for 2 hours of time, not 2 minutes. Please review the SU associated for each type of resource requested ([[abstract:darwin:runjobs:accounting#compute-allocations|compute]], [[abstract:darwin:runjobs:accounting#gpu-allocations|gpu]]) and the associated SUs billed per hour.</note> |

| | //If you need to have SU to dollar conversions based on your DARWIN allocation for grant proposals or reports, please submit a [[https://services.udel.edu/TDClient/32/Portal/Requests/TicketRequests/NewForm?ID=D5ZRIgFlfLw_|Research Computing High Performance Computing (HPC) Clusters Help Request]] and complete the form including DARWIN and indicated you are requesting SU to dollar conversions in the details in the description field. |

| Note that these are estimates based on nominal memory. Actual charges are based on available memory which will be lower than nominal memory due to the memory requirements for the OS and system daemons. | Note that these are estimates based on nominal memory.

| | ===== The idle partition ===== |
| | |
| | Jobs that execute in the [[abstract:darwin:runjobs:queues#the-idle-partition|idle partition]] do not result in charges against your allocation(s). If your jobs can support [[abstract:darwin:runjobs:schedule_jobs#handling-system-signals-aka-checkpointing|checkpointing]], the idle partition will enable you to continue your research even if you exhaust your allocation(s). However, jobs submitted to the other partitions which do get charged against allocations **will take priority** and may cause ''idle'' partition jobs to be **preempted**. |
| | |
| | <note>Since jobs in the ''idle'' partition do not result in charges you will not see them in the output of the ''sproject'' command documented below. You can still use [[abstract:darwin:runjobs:job_status#checking-job-status|standard Slurm commands to check the status]] of those jobs.</note> |

| For XSEDE allocations on DARWIN, you may use the [[https://portal.xsede.org/my-xsede|XSEDE user portal]] to check allocation usage, however keep in mind using the [[abstract:darwin:runjobs:accounting#sproject|sproject]] command available on DARWIN will provide the most up-to-date allocation usage information since the XSEDE Portal will only be updated nightly. | For ACCESS allocations on DARWIN, you may use the [[https://allocations.access-ci.org/allocations/summary|ACCESS Allocations portal]] to check allocation usage, however keep in mind using the [[abstract:darwin:runjobs:accounting#sproject|sproject]] command available on DARWIN will provide the most up-to-date allocation usage information since the ACCESS Allocations Portal will only be updated nightly. |
