Hi-res support on Perlmutter #355

Open forsyth2 opened 1 year ago

Follow-up to #310.

docs/source/campaigns.rst: access to "bigmem nodes on NERSC Cori" required

https://docs.nersc.gov/systems/perlmutter/architecture/#large-memory-nodes: "These nodes are not yet available for user jobs."

So, that effectively means we can't run hi-res until Perlmutter large memory nodes become available. Also, they have "1 TB of memory" compared to the "2 TB of RAM" on Cori's large memory nodes (https://docs.nersc.gov/systems/cori-largemem/).

Next step: Ask NERSC support if Perlmutter will have bigmem nodes as well (or if perhaps they aren't needed).
