==== Job Walltime Extensions ====

Each user is initially allotted 25 walltime job extensions for both Razor and Trestles clusters combined. Additional extensions have to be approved by the AHPCC advisory committee. To petition the AHPCC advisory committee for additional extensions, please send an email to HPC-SUPPORT@listerv.uark.edu with a subject line "WALLTIME EXTENSIONS". In the body of the email please describe your research project and explain why your jobs cannot complete within the standard queue walltimes.  The advisory committee usually meets once a month, and evaluates all outstanding requests.

Use the **extendwall** script to extend the walltime of any running job.  At each invocation of the script the walltime of the job is extended by the maximum walltime of the queue where the job is running.
