gilgamesh: tips on the queue

[John Kitchin]

Hi everyone,

the queue is setup as a routing queue, which means that you submit your job
and request resources that you need, and the queue decides which queue is
appropriate. You do not specify which queue to use. Additionally, you need
to specify the resources at the command line (#PBS directives inside your
script are not read). The only mandatory resource is cput. if you do not
specify this, your job will get rejected. here is a minimal qsub command:

qsub -l cput=hours:minutes:seconds jobscript

jobs up to 24 hours will go into the short queue, jobs between 24 and 168
hours go into the long queue. you could setup aliases for qsub:short to
"qsub -l cput=23:59:59 -joe" if you want to avoid typing those things in.

if you use tcsh, the module command is not available in the queue. you need
to put this line at the top of your .cshrc file:

source /etc/profile.d/modules.csh

that seems to fix the problem. This does not appear to be a problem with
bash.
