Reorganizes and expands batch.rst, and corrects GPU information based on current cluster state.

Reorganization:

  • Added "Available compute resources" section at the top consolidating partition and node tables
  • Expanded "Batch computing" section with an explanation of how batch jobs work, an sbatch usage example, and directive reference tables
  • Added "Accessing GPU nodes" subsection covering both GPU partitions
  • Promoted subsections and genericized example scripts (removed hardcoded job names/emails)

Corrections:

  • gpu partition: updated GPU type from K40m to Titan RTX (K40m GPUs are no longer supported in AL9.x)
  • gpu partition: corrected wall clock limit from 7 days to 2 days
  • Added GPU VRAM to node table: Titan RTX (24 GB), L40S (46 GB)
  • Updated --gres flag in examples to match Slurm identifiers (gpu:RTX:1, gpu:L40S:1)
