    Resource Allocation and Job Execution 
    =====================================
    
      
    
    To run a [job](job-submission-and-execution.html),
    [computational
    resources](resources-allocation-policy.html) for this
    particular job must be allocated. This is done via the PBS Pro job
    workload manager software, which efficiently distributes workloads
    across the supercomputer. Extensive informations about PBS Pro can be
    found in the [official documentation
    here](../../pbspro-documentation.html), especially in
    the [PBS Pro User's
    Guide](https://docs.it4i.cz/pbspro-documentation/pbspro-users-guide).
    
    Resources Allocation Policy
    ---------------------------
    
    The resources are allocated to the job in a fairshare fashion, subject
    to constraints set by the queue and resources available to the Project.
    [The Fairshare](job-priority.html) at Salomon ensures
    that individual users may consume approximately equal amount of
    resources per week. The resources are accessible via several queues for
    queueing the jobs. The queues provide prioritized and exclusive access
    to the computational resources. Following queues are available to Anselm
    users:
    
    -   **qexp**, the \
    -   **qprod**, the \***
    -   **qlong**, the Long queue
    -   **qmpp**, the Massively parallel queue
    -   **qfat**, the queue to access SMP UV2000 machine
    -   **qfree,** the Free resource utilization queue
    
    Check the queue status at <https://extranet.it4i.cz/rsweb/salomon/>
    
    Read more on the [Resource Allocation
    Policy](resources-allocation-policy.html) page.
    
    Job submission and execution
    ----------------------------
    
    Use the **qsub** command to submit your jobs.
    
    The qsub submits the job into the queue. The qsub command creates a
    request to the PBS Job manager for allocation of specified resources. 
    The **smallest allocation unit is entire node, 24 cores**, with
    exception of the qexp queue. The resources will be allocated when
    available, subject to allocation policies and constraints. **After the
    resources are allocated the jobscript or interactive shell is executed
    on first of the allocated nodes.**
