Tutorial: Batch Job / Workflow Management: SLURM & HTCondor
- Chad Freer (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
11:00 - 11:30
Room: Kolker Room (26-414) This session will show how to use the batch schedulers/resource-managers SLURM & HTCondor to manage your computational tasks, distributing them across the shared resources. Depending on your workflow, this may provide an easy way to run your calculations in parallel, shortening time-to-result and eliminating some manual tasks.
