User nodes
Carbon has many major node generations, named genN for short, with N being an integer. In some generations, nodes differ further by the amount of memory.

- Compute time is charged as the product of cores reserved × wallclock time × charge rate. The charge rate accommodates nominal differences in CPU speed.
- gen7 nodes have two GPUs each; GPU usage is currently not "charged" (accounted for) separately.
- Virtual memory usage on nodes may reach up to about 2 × the physical memory size. Your processes running under PBS may allocate that much vmem but cannot practically use it all for reasons of swap space size and bandwidth. If a node acitvely uses swap for more than a few minutes (which drastically slows down compute performance), the job will automatically be killed.
Major CPU flags
CPU capabilities grow with each node generation. Executables can be compiled to leverage specific CPU capabilities. Jobs using such executables must use the qsub option -l nodes=...:genX to be directed to nodes having that capability.
