The new National Supercomputing System in Bavaria, hlrb2, consists of 19 partitions with 512 cores each (=9728 cores in total). 18 of those are used exclusively for batch job processing. One is used for interactive access, whether by normal login shell (30 cores shared between users), or by acquiring interactive resources via an interactive PBS shell.
