Benchmark Queue

http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/UserInfo/Resources/Hardware/SGIAltix/Doc/Jobs.html#Queues

Queue Name:	 	benchmark
WallClock Limit:	4 hours
Max # Processors:	504

The benchmark queue will run biweekly on Tuesdays starting around 5 pm Central 
Time (beginning Aug 23, 2005). Jobs need to be submitted by 12 noon Central 
Time to run in the benchmark queue. If no benchmark jobs have been submitted, 
regular timeshared jobs will run.

Note: For best performance, the machine has been configured to reserve 8 
processors to protect operating system and other system processes. So it is 
strongly recommended to specify a maximum of 504 processors for jobs in the 
dedicated and benchmark queues. 

Jobs in the benchmark queues will be charged for all CPUs on the host 
regardless of how many processors the job uses.
