This code demonstrates how to run multiple single-core jobs within a single SLURM script using a loop to go through a set of parameters.

Files

• code.sh: prints the start time, sleeps for 10 s, and print the exit time.
• parameters.sh: this is a space-separated 3-column file with the parameters.
• while.sh: the SLURM script.

Usage

1. Submit the job with:

   sbatch while.sh
   

2. This will create files with .out extension (e.g. 01-02-03.out).

3. In the current example which requests 5 cores for 8 parameters, you can check that a first batch of 5 jobs are running at the same time, then the remaining 3 jobs are run.
