I was reading a script to submit a job to a cluster. I saw this line:

-pe threaded 8 -R y

what does this mean?

    Could you provide us with some context and relevant code sample ? As of now, your question is extremely unclear – Aserre Aug 19 '16 at 08:39

You're using SGE, where -pe specifies a parallel environment, in your case called threaded, asking for 8 nodes. It's not related to the shell or bash, it's a switch parsed by the grid engine when submitting your job. Equivalently, you could submit these switches on the command line:

qsub -pe threaded 8 -R y job_file

So take a look at man qsub.
