 ''<nowiki>--pty</nowiki>'' requests support for an interactive shell, and ''-p medium'' the corresponding partition. ''-c 16'' ensures that you 16 cpus on the node. You will get a shell prompt, as soon as a suitable node becomes available. Single thread, non-interactive jobs can be run with
 <code>srun -p medium ./myexecutable</code>
+If there is a waiting time for running jobs on the ''medium'' partition, you can use the ''int'' partition for an interactive job that uses CPU resources and ''gpu-int'' for an interactive job that also uses GPU resources. The interactive partitions do not have a waiting time but you do not get any dedicated resources like CPU/GPU cores or Memory but have to share with all other users, so you should not use them for non-interactive jobs.
