Info

The 'df' and 'nf' queues are 'fractional' queues which only request part of a node. It is better to use these queues for low resolution testing or compilation. 'df' is the 'development' version of the 'nf' queue which usually gives a faster turnaround.

Note that the 'aprun' command can't be used in fractional queues. You need to add:

module load cray-snplauncher

to the job script and use mpiexec in place of aprun.
