titleStart an idev session
idev -m 60 -N 1 -A OTH21164 -p normal --reservation=CoreNGS-Tuecore-ngs-class-0603

Notes:

  • -p normal requests nodes on the normal queue
    • this is the default for our reservation, while the development queue is the normal default

  • -A OTH21164 specifies the TACC allocation/project to use
