We use Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management (SLURM) for our resource and queue manager, and from here you can find an overview information document. You can also go to https://slurm.schedmd.com/tutorials.html for SLURM information and http://www.nersc.gov/users/computational-systems/cori/running-jobs/example-batch-scriptsfor basic bash commands.
