Policies and Best Practices
- Jobs running longer than 12 hours will be routed to a limited pool of nodes for long jobs
- The high.c resource is intended for fast turn around jobs. Users are limited to 2 slots for 12 hours.
- Always request the shortest wall clock time and the smallest amount of memory you need. This will allow your job to get scheduled faster.
- The long queue has a limit of 320 slots per user

You are assigned to a default project when your account is created. If you need to a job with a different project to which you have access, please add the following to your batch script (or just use -P if submitting to qsub from the command line):
#$ -P <user requested project>
Where the user-requested project is one of the sub-projects listed in the table below.
