Only the project specification is mandatory but other options are useful to correctly configure your job.
The queues available for a single-core job are the following:

#$ -l s_rss=1G
# To name the job
#$ -N job_example
# To declare your project under which the job will be executed
#$ -P P_<groupname>
# To merge the stdout and stderr output into a single file
#$ -j
# The stdout and stderr outputs will be in your $HOME by default
# to place them elsewhere eg. under your $HOME:
#$ -o $HOME/<yourPATH>/
# Run your order, and save the result
echo $(/bin/date) > result.txt
# Your job is running in the temporary working directory ($TMPDIR) on
# the calculation servers that will be deleted at the end of the job; at the end of your calculations,
# you have to copy the results you want to keep in a storage space
# appropriate, eg
cp resultat.txt $HOME/myresult
