So far this documentation has covered the basics of using a few TORQUE
commands, and accessing and using a Unix/Linux system. This information covers
the rawest of fundamentals of using the cluster system for your programs. At
this point you are ready to start experimenting with the cluster and using it
to facilitate your research. This section will go into further details on
scripting and setting up jobs and elaborating on best practices and suggestions
on how to script them. However, this section will only cover serial
jobs, using only a single processor. distributed or threaded
jobs will be discussed in the section on advanced job submission.
This purpose of this section is to teach technique and method, rather than
particular details of how and why things work. While these details may be
mentioned, they may also be only briefly explained. If there are questions on
any of the particular commands, variables, or arguments used in this section
please see the appropriate sections of this guide, or feel free to examine an
external documentation source.
