Slurm

Introduction

Slurm [1] is a workload manager for clusters, offering both batch and interactive job scheduling. It works over a text based interface on the linux terminal.

Slurm will provide you with the following to help you make use of the cluster;

1. What resources are available on the cluster.
2. Queuing and allocation of jobs based on specified resources.
3. Job monitoring and status reporting.

These commands include:

 $ sinfo : to view the cluster, resources and partition
 $ squeue : view submitted job.
 $ sbatch : submit a batch job.
 $ sacct : for admins
 $ scancel :  to cancel your own job that has been submitted.

Usage will be illustrated in the subsequent pages.
