| - | Obviously customise this script to suit your own circumstances. The above script will provide 4 cores for two hours. DO NOT use more than 4 cores in the VNC session. If you intend using a full compute node, use the smp queue and request 24 cores. If you need more than 2 hours, specify the walltime as well as the sleep time accordingly. Get the compute node hostname by querying PBS: ''qstat -awu username'' will give you the jobnumbers of all your jobs (please substitute "username" with your OWN username). ''qstat -n1 jobnumber'' will give you the hostname of the compute node(s) that you are using for that job. | + | Obviously customise this script to suit your own circumstances.
