Slurm Workload Manager

This skill provides a complete reference for interacting with and managing a Slurm-based HPC cluster. It includes detailed command guides, job submission templates, and extensive configuration references.

Core Workflows

1. Job Submission and Management

Submit and monitor your computational tasks.

Submit a batch script: Use sbatch. See sbatch.md for full options.
Run interactive tasks: Use srun. See srun.md.
Check job status: Use squeue. See squeue.md.
Cancel jobs: Use scancel. See scancel.md.

2. Monitoring Cluster State

View nodes, partitions, and resource availability.

Cluster overview: Use sinfo. See sinfo.md.
Node/Job details: Use scontrol show [node|job] <id>. See scontrol.md.
Accounting & history: Use sacct. See sacct.md.

3. Cluster Administration

Manage Slurm configuration, users, and accounts.

Manage accounts/users: Use sacctmgr. See sacctmgr.md.
Configuration files: The primary configuration is slurm.conf.md.
Generic Resources (GRES): Configure GPUs and other resources in gres.conf.md.
