Node features can be specified by placing one or more white space-delimited strings on the line for the associated host as in the following example:
server_priv/nodes:
node001 np=2 fast ia64
node002 np=4 bigmem fast ia64 smp
...
These features can be used by users to request specific nodes when submitting jobs. For example:
qsub -l nodes=1:bigmem+1:fast job.sh
This job submission will look for a node with the bigmem feature (node002) and a node with the fast feature (either node001 or node002).
