High-performance computing (HPC) systems rely on batch job schedulers like Slurm to efficiently and fairly manage shared computing resources through scripted job submissions. Here, we introduce new users to distributed batch job schedulers, guiding them through writing and submitting their first Slurm job scripts while covering best practices, resource requests, and useful environment variables.

Efficiently transferring data is a critical part of building research workflows, whether working with experimental or simulated data on local or high-performance computing (HPC) systems. Here, we introduce key concepts and command-line tools for data transfer, including how to verify data integrity, use compression, and select appropriate transfer methods based on data size, location, and organization.

Many research problems on high-performance computing (HPC) systems benefit more from high-throughput computing (HTC) or many-task computing (MTC) models, which focus on completing numerous smaller tasks over time rather than using large, parallel applications. Here, we introduce how to build such structured workflows using the Slurm Workload Manager, including job arrays, dependencies, and job bundling strategies, while addressing common challenges in managing HTC/MTC workloads.
