## Setting the default bank

Some computers, if they are large enough, have scheduling systems that break up the number of processors into banks, which are usually reserved for particular projects. Users who contribute to a project take processors from their default bank of processors. By default, VisIt uses environment variables to get your default bank when submitting a parallel job to the batch system. If you want to override those settings, you can click the Default Bank check box to turn it on and then type your desired bank into the text field next to the check box.
