What are the new Cluster queues as of May 18, 2009:
Additional nodes were added to the cluster along with new queues. These changes streamline performance and application integration support. In addition contributed nodes by faculty are listed below.

How do I choose between queues:
You may view queue properties with the bqueues command:
-bash-3.2$ bqueues
And extra details by queue name:
-bash-3.2$ bqueues -l atlas_prod
Where do I find basic unix/linux resources?
...
Yes. You should not hard code the names anywhere. The convention is node01, node02, ...
Some applications required a login to former node compute01, is this still the case?
No.
