How do you submit a job on multiple queues with Torque?

Using qsub I can submit a job to multiple nodes on the same queue:

qsub -I -q normal -l nodes=2:ppn=16

However I have another queue named hyper, is it possible to submit a job across two different queues?

Something conceptually like this:

qsub -I -l queue=normal:nodes=2:ppn=16,queue=hyper:nodes=2:ppn=16
Solution

  • No, you cannot associate multiple queues with a job. It sounds like you want to request properties/features, like this:

    qsub -I -l nodes=2:ppn=16+nodes=2:ppn=16:fastmem
