The above are the names for the 8-core farm jobs. 12-core farm jobs need an extra "2" in the name, e.g. suncat-short becomes suncat2-short. Jobs on the 8-core farm should typically request multiples of 8 for the number of cores, and similarly the 12-core farm jobs should typically request a multiple of 12 cores.
Submitting Jobs
