CCS Portable Batch System Pro

Torque Portable Batch System, Maui

The Center for Computational Science's OneSIS computing cluster uses Cluster Resources' Torque Portable Batch System software along with the Maui scheduler. All jobs must be run under Torque/PBS (qsub).

All faculty and students at Tulane University are permitted access to the computational resources at the Center for Computational Sciences with the following queue structure in increasing order of permission (and responsibility):

queue name wall time memory max # of cpus for user max # of running jobs priority user run limit

ccs_short < 6hrs 800 MB / processor None 50 10 10

ccs_long < 72hrs 800 MB / processor None 50 -10 10

queue name: the name of the queue.
wall time: amount of total wall time for job.
memory: amount of memory for job.
max # of cpus for user: the max number of cpus that are available to a user for a job.
max # of running jobs: maximum number of jobs allowed to run in the queue concurrently.
priority: positive and higher values have greater priority.
user run limit: maximum number of requests allowed to be run in the queue at one time by one user.
