Submitting Jobs

The Computational Genetics Laboratory compute server resources consist of cgls1 (16-CPU Sun Fire 6800 and 12 CPUs for pbs) and cs0 (8-CPU Sun Fire v890 and 7 CPUs for pbs).

PBS is a queueing system for submitting serial and parallel jobs. It matches job requirements with the machine's resources by use of a command file. It ensures that the machines are used fairly and to their full potential and that resources don't go unused.

All pbs jobs must be submitted with a command file. Jobs have a maximum wall clock time of 24 hours per job and a maximum of 12 CPUs per job. For examples of constructing command files, see the detailed user guide.
