| Reusable job scripts help you maintain a consistent batch environment across runs. The optional **.qs** filename suffix signifies a **q**ueue-**s**ubmission script file. | Reusable job scripts help you maintain a consistent batch environment across runs.

| It is usually a good idea to add both resources. The ''mem_free'' complex is sensor driven, and is more reliable for choosing a node for your job. The ''m_mem_free'' is consumable, which means you are reserving the memory for future use. Other jobs, using ''m_mem_free'', may be barred from starting on the node. If you are specifying memory resources for a parallel environment job, the requested memory is multiplied by the slot count. By default, ''m_mem_free'' is defined as 1GB of memory per core (slot), if not specified. | The ''m_mem_free'' is consumable, which means you are reserving the memory for future use.

| MPI jobs inherently generate considerable network traffic among the processor cores of a cluster's compute nodes. The processors on the compute node may be connected by two types of networks: InfiniBand and Gigabit Ethernet. | MPI jobs inherently generate considerable network traffic among the processor cores of a cluster's compute nodes.

| IT has developed templates to help with the **openmpi** parallel environments for Farber, targeting different user needs and architecture. You can copy the templates from ''/opt/templates/gridengine/openmpi'' and customize them. These templates are essentially identical with the exception of the presence or absence of certain **qsub** options and the values assigned to **MPI_FLAGS** based on using particular environment variables. In all cases, the parallel environment option must be specified: | IT has developed templates to help with the **openmpi** parallel environments for Farber, targeting different user needs and architecture.

| Detailed information pertaining to individual kinds of parallel jobs -- like setting the ''OMP_NUM_THREADS'' environment variable to ''$NSLOTS'' for OpenMP programs -- are provided by UD IT in a collection of job template scripts on a per-cluster basis under the ''/opt/templates'' directory.
