= General information =
We have 8 KNLs in the SDV right now.\\
knl04 is currently not available. So users can only use 7 KNLs.



= Node allocation =
Nodes can be allocated through the PBS based batch system that is also used for the DEEP Cluster and Booster.You can start an interactive session on our KNLs like this:

{{{
qsub -l nodes=2:ppn=256:knl,walltime=00:10:00 -I   (this will randomly choose 2 of our 8 KNLs)
qsub -l nodes=knl0X:ppn=256:knl,walltime=00:10:00 -I (you can also choose a specific KNL (01-03,05-08) like this)
}}}

When using a batch script, you have to adapt the -l option within your script.


= Compiling =

Use the -xMIC-AVX512 flag instead of -mmic.


= Using MPI over EXTOLL =
set PSP_RENDEZVOUS_VELO = <max. message size>
