  Queuing System

NCHC users specify one of the following submit classes to queue jobs. Upon submission the job is routed to the appropriate LSF class according to the following criteria.

All batch jobs must be submitted to a valid submit class. If the class doesn't exist, job will be terminated and an error message will be issued.
 

Submit Class	Cores/Job	Jobs/User	Jobs/Queue	Max CPU time	Max Wallclock
xfer	1 … 8	32	80	5 days	–
mono	9 … 80	80	80	–	5 days

For users who running serial jobs, please submit to the class xfer.
