Queues, Jobs, SlotsUser initiated requests (Jobs) are managed by  the SGE system and queued. Normally every job consumes a slot (ideally one slot = one CPU), unless more slots are requested using a parallel environment (see the SGE Queuing Sytem documentation below).To recap, normally:1 Job == 1 slot == 1 queue instance consuming 1 CPUIf N processors are needed, you can request N slots using the parallel environment.

To use the computing cluster you MUST connect via SSH to login.dei.unipd.itSo, first of all, connect to login server: commands you see after the '$' character must be typed by you.$ ssh YourDEILogin@login.dei.unipd.itRequested password is the one associated with your DEI account.EXAMPLE 1: submit a simple job to print the list of files on the current directory.By issuing the 'ls' command on a terminal you would normally have the command executed on the computer you are connected to.

The cluster is made up of 14 variously equipped computing 'blades'. At the present day (September 21, 2018) there are:
