sinfo: View the detailed status of a specific partition.
$ sinfo --partition ${partition_name}
try on your machine

This command is using the sinfo command, which is typically used in HPC (High-Performance Computing) environments to display information about job schedules and node utilization. The --partition option is used to specify a specific partition for which information needs to be displayed.

The ${partition_name} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual name of the partition you want to get information about. For example, if you have multiple partitions like "batch", "interactive", and "gpu", you would replace ${partition_name} with one of those partition names to view the information for that specific partition.

By executing this command, you will get a list of information related to the specified partition such as the number of nodes available, their state (idle, allocated, etc.), their load average, and other details that may vary depending on your HPC system configuration.
