Or can this be somehow configured. You can specify multiple partitions, e.g. $ salloc --cpus-per-task=1 --time=01:00:01 --partition=standard,medium,long Notice that rather than using 'srun ... --pty bash', as far as I understand, the preferred method is to use 'salloc' as above, and to use 'srun' for starting MPI processes.
