SUMMARY:Getting Started with Batch Job Scheduling (Batch computing Part II)
  (COMPLECS)
DESCRIPTION:High-performance computing (HPC) systems are specialized resour
 ces in use and shared by many researchers across all domains of science, e
 ngineering, and beyond. In order to distribute these advanced computing re
 sources in an efficient, fair, and organized way, most of the computationa
 l workloads run on these systems are executed as batch jobs, which are sim
 ply prescripted sets of commands that are executed on a subset of an HPC s
 ystem’s compute resources for a given amount of time. Researchers submit
  these batch jobs as scripts to a batch job scheduler, the software that c
 ontrols and tracks where and when the batch jobs submitted to the system w
 ill eventually be run. However, if this is your first time using an HPC sy
 stem and interacting with a batch job scheduler like Slurm, then writing a
 nd submitting your first batch job scripts to them may be somewhat intimid
 ating due to the inherent complexity of these systems. Moreover, the sched
 ulers can be configured in many different ways and will often have unique 
 features and options that vary from system to system, which you will also 
 need to consider when writing and submitting your batch jobs.In this secon
 d part of our series on Batch Computing, we will introduce you to the conc
 ept of a distributed batch job scheduler — what they are, why they exist
 , and how they work — using the Slurm Workload Manager as our reference 
 implementation and testbed. You will then learn how to write your first jo
 b script and submit it to an HPC System running Slurm as its scheduler. We
  will also discuss the best practices for how to structure your batch job 
 scripts, teach you how to leverage Slurm environment variables, and provid
 e tips on how to request resources from the scheduler to get your work don
 e faster. To complete the exercises covered in Part II, you will need acc
 ess to an HPC system running the Slurm Workload Manager as its batch job s
 cheduler.
