Price:
Free

The Digital Research Alliance's national systems use a job scheduler called “Slurm.” In this session, you will learn how Slurm works and how it allocates jobs, helping you to

  • minimize wait time by framing reasonable requests;
  • ask for only the resources you need to improve efficiency;
  • increase throughput;
  • run more jobs simultaneously; and
  • troubleshoot and address crashes.

This workshop is designed for either new HPC users familiar with Linux and Shell Scripting, but who have not had experience with using Slurm, or for experienced users transitioning to Slurm or seeking to improve efficiency with the scheduler.
