• Code porting
• Code debugging
• Code development
• Job script/workflow management script porting, debugging and/or development

These partitions must not be used for the following activities:

• Production runs (i.e., jobs that are intended to generate final results or data for publication, reporting, or use in further analysis)
• Preparatory or test runs, including but not limited to:
  • Warm-up/generation of initial conditions for simulations
  • Testing configurations, searching for optimal/stabilitiy parameters, or setting up simulations, even if the results will not be used directly.
  • Running simulations or experiments to determine production parameters for AI/ML model training (e.g., hyperparameter tuning, configuration testing, validation of stability under different settings).
  • Testing code or scripts in ways that mimic production workloads, such as large-scale simulations or model training, that are not explicitly part of the development or debugging process.

Note: This restriction applies regardless of the execution time of the jobs. For instance, jobs that involve testing for numerical stability, parameter optimization, or early-stage simulations should not be conducted on the

debug/

development partitions, even if the run times are under the partition's walltime limit.
