In this chapter we will cover basic settings that users need to specify in order to run jobs in the Merlin5 CPU cluster.

In the CPU cluster we provide some limits which basically apply to jobs and users. The idea behind this is to ensure a fair usage of the resources and to
avoid overabuse of the resources from a single user or job. However, applying limits might affect the overall usage efficiency of the cluster (in example,
pending jobs from a single user while having many idle nodes due to low overall activity is something that can be seen when user limits are applied).

In the same way, these limits can be also used to improve the efficiency of the cluster (in example, without any job size limits, a job requesting all
resources from the batch system would drain the entire cluster for fitting the job, which is undesirable).

By default, by QoS limits, a job can not use more than 384 cores (max CPU per job).
However, for the `merlin-long`, this is even more restricted: there is an extra limit of 4 dedicated nodes for this partion. This is defined
at the partition level, and will overwrite any QoS limit as long as this is more restrictive.
