You will need to be aware of the approximate amount of memory per job slot when setting up jobs if your job uses a significant amount of memory. The actual amount will vary due to OS overhead , and will be slightly lower than but the values given below can be used for planning purposes.

Using the Basic Job Submission and Advanced Job Submission pages as a reference, how would one submit jobs taking HT into account? For single process high throughput type jobs it probably does not matter, just request one slot per job. For multithreaded or MPI jobs, request one job slot per thread or process. So if your application runs best with 4 threads then request something like the following.

If your job does not use the system openmpi, or does not use MPI, then any desired core binding will need to be set up with whatever mechanism the software uses. Otherwise, there will be no core binding. Again, that may not be a major issue. If your job does not work well with HT then run on a number of cores equal to half of the number of slots requested and the OS scheduler will minimize contention.
new SGE utilities
While SoGE is very similar to previous versions of SGE there are some new utilities that people may find of interest. There are manual pages for each of these.
