A fair amount of the Soltis Lab usage of the cluster will be for phylogenetic analyses. Many of these last 1-2 weeks, with a few as long as a month. Being able to schedule longer jobs will be important. However, my sense is that things have improved from where we were a few years ago, in that we rearely need jobs that run over a month. Between checkpointing and better software, most of the analyses that I've seen running over 30days on our lab cluster or Fisher were
- forgotten about by the user who started them and no longer needed
- set up with unrealistic expectations (jobs on bootstrap replicate 3 after 30 days set to run for 1,000 replicates, etc)
- could have been set up in way to complete within a month
