This session will cover the basics of estimating job RAM and CPU needs with SLURM.  We will go over several methods and tools in this presentation:

  • SLURM's sacct command
  • htop
  • nvtop
  • ruse
  • ssh'ing to monitor a running job

There will be time at the end of the workshop for instructors to help researchers with estimating resources for their own workflows - so feel free to bring your own scripts and questions!
