[-p partition] [-P project] [-R request]
[script [args ...]]
OPTIONS
-B base Specifies the number of the base node (the first node to use) in the

base node is unassigned, leaving the scheduler free to select nodes
that are not in use.
-C CPUs Specifies the number of CPUs required per node (default 1).
-h Display the list of options.
-I Allocate CPUs immediately or fail. By default, allocate blocks until
resources become available.
-N nodes | all
Specifies the number of nodes to allocate (default 1). To allocate one
CPU on each node in the partition, use the argument all as follows:
allocate -N all. Either the -C option or the -n option can be
combined with -N but not both.
-n CPUs Specifies the total number of CPUs required.
-P project Specifies the name of the project with which the job should be
associated for scheduling and accounting purposes.
-p partition Specifies the target partition from which the resources are to be
allocated.
