Submitting Your First Job

This tutorial walks you through submitting a simple job to the ACEBDIS HPC Cluster using SLURM.

Create a file named test_job.sh:

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=test_job
#SBATCH --output=test_job.out
#SBATCH --error=test_job.err
#SBATCH --time=00:05:00
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-node=1
#SBATCH --mem=1gb

echo "Hello from the ACE HPC Cluster!"
hostname
sleep 60

Step 2: Submit the Job​

sbatch test_job.sh

You’ll see a job ID (e.g, Submitted batch job 12345).

Step 3: View yout job in the queue​

squeue -u $USER

Once completed, check test_job.out for output.
