+## Slurm Partitions
+
+The available compute nodes are grouped into logical (possibly overlapping) sets, the so-called
+**partitions**. You can submit your job to a certain partition using the Slurm option
+`--partition=<partition-name>`.
+
+Some nodes have Multithreading (SMT) enabled, so for every physical core allocated
+(e.g., with `SLURM_HINT=nomultithread`), you will always get `MB per Core`*`number of threads`,
+because the memory of the other threads is allocated implicitly, too.
+
+Some partitions have a *interactive* counterpart for interactive jobs. The corresponding partitions
+is suffixed with `-interactive` (e.g. `ml-interactive`) and have the same configuration.
+
+There is also a meta partition `haswell`, which contain partition `haswell64`,
+`haswell256` and `smp2`and this is also the default partition. If you specify no partition or
+partition `haswell` a Slurm plugin will choose the partition which fits to your memory requirements.
+There are some other partitions, which are not specified in the table above, but those partitions
+should not be used directly.
