PBS and specify nodes to use

Question

when you submit jobs to a PBS server, is it possible to specify the nodes that we want to use in a list?

Thanks

Answer 1

Yes. When you use qsub, use the -l option to specify the node names. e.g.

qsub -l nodes=b2005+b1803+b1813

There's more examples in this TORQUE/PBS manual page.
