| SLURM is similar to most other queue systems in that you write a batch script, then submit it to the queue manager. The queue manager schedules your job to run on the queue (or partition in SLURM parlance) that you designate. Below is an outline of how to submit jobs to SLURM, how SLURM decides when to schedule your job, and how to monitor progress. | SLURM is similar to most other queue systems in that you write a batch script, then submit it to the queue manager.

| This is expected. The maximum speed this server will ever be able to achieve is 1Gb/s because of its single 1G ethernet uplink. If this cluster gains in popularity we plan on upgrading the network and storage server. | This is expected.
