The first box is the number of weeks; the second, days; the third, hours; the fourth, minutes. For example, if you want to specify a 30-day walltime for the job, enter 30 in the day (second) box.

Lets you specify the number of processors required by this job.
Memory Per Proc (MB)
Lets you specify how much memory is required on the processor(s) for this job. Specify the amount in megabytes (up to one terabyte—1048576 MB).
Features
Lets you set the feature tags (if any) to be attached to the job when it is scheduled to a node. Moab will strictly attempt to schedule the job to a node that matches the feature tags you set here.
To create feature tags, you must add node features via RM plugins or the NODECFG FEATURES attribute in your moab.cfg file. For more information, see Node Attributes in the Moab Workload Manager Administrator Guide.
Choose from the possible node features in the drop-down box. To add additional features to the job, choose Add (
). To remove features, choose Remove (
).
It is possible to specify an invalid condition, or a job that requests features that do not exist on the same node. If this occurs, Moab will wait to schedule the job indefinitely.
Other Resources
Use these fields and to specify other Moab resources that are required for the job. These can either be nodes or other generic resources that have been configured and made available through Moab.
Choose from configured generic resources which you want to include with the job submission. Select the generic resource from the drop-down list and specify the number required in the corresponding text box.
To add additional resources to the job submission, choose Add (). To remove resources, choose Remove ().
For information about configuring generic resources, see "Managing Consumable Generic Resources" in the Moab Workload Manager Administrator Guide.
