When generic resources have been assigned to nodes using the server's nodes file, these resources can be requested at the time of job submission using the other field. (See "Consumable Generic Resources" in the Moab Workload Manager Administrator Guide for details on configuration within Moab).
Example 2-1: Generic
This job will run on any node that has the generic resource matlab.
> qsub -l other=matlab /home/user/script.sh
This can also be requested at the time of job submission using the -W x=GRES:matlab flag.
