Overview
Welcome to the Introduction to SLURM training course
This course is part of the DiRAC HPC Developer series and is intended for students interested in making full use of the workload manager system, enabling them to run their codes more efficiently. Within DiRAC we use SLURM as our workload manager. The material was developed for DiRAC systems, but should be applicable to any current HPC system students might have access to.
This short course is delivered in a self-paced format, so students can dip in and out whenever is convenient. The estimated time to complete this course is 3 hours.
What you will learn:
• Understand how batch scheduling systems operate on HPC platforms.
• Submit, monitor, and manage jobs using SLURM.
• Create and use job submission scripts.
• Configure the correct runtime environment for your applications.
• Use HPC resources efficiently and fairly within a shared environment
