 To connect to one of them, simply allocate more than 200GB of RAM in your job.
 
 ```
-hpc-login-1:~$ srun --pty --memory=300GB bash -i

     - both interactive `srun` and batch `sbatch` jobs are governed by Slurm memory allocation

 Our Slurm configuration uses Linux cgroups to enforce a maximum amount of resident memory.

+You simply specify it using `--mem=<size>` in your `srun` and `sbatch` command.
 
 In the (rare) case that you provide more flexible number of threads (Slurm tasks) or GPUs, you could also look into `--mem-per-cpu` and `--mem-per-gpu`.
 The [official Slurm sbatch](https://slurm.schedmd.com/sbatch.html) manual is quite helpful, as is `man sbatch` on the cluster command line.
