This week’s training session will introduce the SLURM (Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management) job scheduler, the system used to manage jobs on BioHPC. The session will cover: • Fundamentals of the job scheduler and how it decides where and when your jobs run. • How to interact with SLURM to check job status and monitor resource usage. • Writing SLURM job scripts to maximize throughput for different scenarios, including sequential, parallel, GPU, and MPI distributed tasks. This training is highly recommended for BioHPC users who submit jobs from the command line and have not previously attended a SLURM session., powered by Localist, the Community Event Platform
