Here are 2 python scripts you can use to submit jobs to the cluster: script1   option file   example command file This script is used when you don't really care which jobs get sent to which nodes. script1   option file   example command file This script lets you specify which jobs get sent to specific nodes. You can specify whether the script reads from the directory on the node or from your main miles directory. To run either script, copy the script and option files onto your miles directory and type this:  python script name -@ option files -f command file To check your jobs still on the queue:  qstat To kill jobs on queue:  qdel your job number If you need to do large amounts of file reading and writing, it saves huge amount of time if you move the required files onto each node, eg. the executable and input files.
