Slurm Job File Generator

This page provides a generator for Slurm job files covering

• basic Slurm options for resource specification and job management,
• data life cycle handling using workspaces,
• and a skeleton for setting up the computational environment using modules.

It is intended as a starting point for beginners and thus, does not cover all available Slurm options.

If you are interested in providing this job file generator for your HPC users, you can find the project at https://gitlab.hrz.tu-chemnitz.de/zih/hpcsupport/slurm-jobfile-generator.
