📄️ Slurm Fairshare Score
Computational resources on the supercomputer are free for ASU faculty, students, and collaborators. To keep availability equitable, submitted jobs in the queue are prioritized based on recent usage via the submitting user's Fairshare score, which scales a base priority by a factor dependent on recent usage.

📄️ Slurm SBATCH Job Scripts
SBATCH job scripts (Slurm batch job scripts) are the conventional way to do work on the supercomputer. In these scripts, you request a resource allocation and define the work to be done. They are sometimes also referred to as job scripts, submission scripts, submission files, or Slurm scripts.
📄️ Slurm Job Array Examples
Case One: Bioinformatics Essential - Bulk BLAST Query
📄️ Accessing CXFEL Nodes on SOL
1. Access Eligibility
📄️ Transitioning interactive jobs to batch jobs
In a Slurm HPC cluster, batched jobs improve efficiency by letting the scheduler queue, prioritize, and allocate resources for optimal utilization, reducing idle time and ensuring fair sharing. Unlike interactive jobs, they run without continuous user input, making them ideal for large or long computations while maintaining predictable and policy-compliant operations.
