-The above tells you, for instance, that compute04 has 8 CPUs while compute2 has 64 CPUs. And that a job sent to the "highmem" partition (a SLURM verb equivalent to "queue", as per the vocabulary in use with other schedulers, e.g. Sun Grid Engine), then it will end up being run on either compute03 or mammoth. +The above tells you, for instance, that compute06 has 64 CPUs.
