Batch queues on the beowulf cluster

There are several batch queues on the PPPL cluster, kestrel (which is the default queue), the kite queue (to submit jobs to the kite nodes which use an infiniband interconnect) , the sque (for single CPU jobs), and ganesh, a queue for systems with large memory sizes.

In the default queue, there are many well configured hosts that will meet most user's needs. If your job only runs on a single CPU, you should submit to sque.

The queue is specified in your job script.
