====== SLURM (Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management) ======

===== Basic commands =====

  - //**sbatch** run_script// is used to submit a job script for later execution. The script will typically contain one or more srun commands to launch parallel tasks.
  - //**scancel** job_id// is used to cancel a pending or running job or job step. It can also be used to send an arbitrary signal to all processes associated with a running job or job step.
  - //**squeue**// reports the state of jobs or job steps. It has a wide variety of filtering, sorting, and formatting options. By default, it reports the running jobs in priority order and then the pending jobs in priority order.

===== Squeue tips =====

=== How to see path to job folder ===
add alias to your ~/.bashrc:
<code>
alias qp="squeue -o '%o' | awk -F / '{\$(NF--)} {gsub(\" \",FS)};  \$0=\"cd \"\$0 '"
</code>



Output

<code>
cd /home/a.dembitskiy/project_template/NaGPO4F/phonons_minimum_121
cd /home/a.boev/vasp/surseg_tem//polaron_seg//LCO.104.7.is.Ti.o_coord.1ULC_g
</code>

=== How to see the details of all the nodes you can use ===
<code>
scontrol show node
</code>

Output

<code>

=== How to see jobs' info including number of nodes and cores ===

You can use the format mark %C, for instance:
<code>
squeue -o"%.7i %.9P %.8j %.8u %.2t %.10M %.6D %C"
</code>
