| * If your job needs more than one CPU (on a single machine) for most of the time, reserve the given number of CPU cores (and SGE slots) with <code>qsub -pe smp <number-of-CPU-cores></code> As you can see in [[#List of Machines]], the maximum is 32 cores.

Note that if you allocate one slot (CPU core) on a machine, but (almost) all its RAM, you have effectively occupied the whole machine and all its cores. If you are submitting **more than 100 jobs**, consider using setting them a low priority (e.g. ''-p -1024'', see below) or use [[#qunhold]]. | * Be kind to your colleagues.

| | If you use ''-tc'', then SGE can handle array jobs of virtually any size. It only starts as many tasks as specified in ''-tc'' at any time, and each scheduling interval (15 seconds in our current configuration) it starts new tasks if less than the specified ''-tc'' limit are running. However, note that it means the maximum throughput is //4 * tc// tasks per minute, so the individual array job tasks need to run for at least tens of seconds for this to be effective. |
| | |
| | The advantage of array jobs over [[#qunhold]] is that it does not overload the SGE job queue. Also if you start an array job, the others can see that it is an array job, how many individual tasks there are and how many of them have already finished. |
