The Advance Reservation Service (ARS) capability is available on all HPC systems within the HPCMP.
Quick facts:

• ARS allows a user to reserve a block of time for their use on any system for which a user has an account.
• A single reservation cannot be more than 168 hours in length.
• Reservations must be made at least 96 hours in advance.
• Reservations can be made up to 3 months in advance.
• A single user can have up to four reservations active at any time on a specific system
• A single user can reserve up to 50% of ARS resources available on a system.
  • Typically, 10%-15%% of a system is available for ARS
• Multiple jobs can be run within one reservation.
  • At the time of the reservation request, the user enters a valid project that has an allocation sufficient to address the reservation. However, when the user runs jobs during the ARS time period, the user may submit jobs with different projects.
  • The allocations for the projects that were used for each job will be charged — NOT the Project used during the ARS reservation request process.
  • Any unused time will be charged to the project indicated during the reservation request.
• Multiple users are allowed to run within a reservation by reservation initiator at reservation request.
