5 Minute TL;DR

All files that need to be accessible during the job need to be placed in /scratch/ or /shared/.

1. I want to…

   1. run a single command/script and can wait until it finishes: srun COMMAND
   2. run a script and continue working or disconnect: sbatch MY_SCRIPT.sh

2. My command/script needs…

   1. more time: Add --time=HH:MM:SS to srun/sbatch
   2. more CPU cores: Add --cpus-per-task=N to request N cores
   3. more RAM: Add --mem=NG to request N gigabytes
   4. a GPU: Add --gres=gpu:rtx_4090:1 to request a single RTX 4090 GPU
   5. interactive access to a node: Add --pty bash to srun/sbatch

3. I submitted a job and want to check its status: squeue --me

4. I want to cancel a job: scancel JOBID

5. I need a special environment (Docker, etc.): Use Apptainer in your job scripts or request a package beeing installed on the cluster.

For more details on any command, use man COMMAND (e.g., man sbatch) or check the Slurm documentation.
