+Some clusters require the user to specify a list of required resources.
 For example, it may be necessary to specify how much memory will be needed by the job - see this [issue](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/10390).
 The keyword `qsub_flags` can be used to specify these and other options.
 Additionally the keyword `wd` can be used to specify the working directory (which defaults to `ENV["HOME"]`).
