+**When would you use ''-q smp'' in your //.pbs// file as opposed to ''-q serial'' or ''-q normal''?**
+The queue must match the number of cores and nodes you request:
+  * //serial// queue: If you want to request fewer than 24 cores, eg ''select=1:ncpus=12'' then use ''-q serial''
+  * //smp// queue: if your job needs a whole node, ie ''select=1:ncpus=24''  then use ''-q smp''
+  * //normal// queue: for a job that requires from 2 to 10 nodes, eg ''select=2:ncpus=24'' then use ''-q normal''
