Single core/thread sbatch job¶

To submit a single core/thread job to the scheduler, you will need to create a sbatch file that requests this resource be scheduled and the workflow to be executed. The following sbatch script provides a minimal example of requesting a single node, single core job, which is the default when no other parameters are specified.

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=example_sbatch
#SBATCH --output=example_sbatch.out
#SBATCH --error=example_sbatch.err
#SBATCH --time=00:30:00

# LOAD THE MODULES REQUIRED FOR YOUR JOB
module load Anaconda3

# RUN JOB
python myjob.py 

In this minimal example sbatch script, only the wall time is passed to the scheduler. Since the quantity of nodes and cores/threads as well as memory were not specified, the default values for each are provisioned by the scheduler.

Once a core is available and is allocated to the job, the myjob.py python code will then be executed on the allocated single core on one of the compute nodes.

Default resources allocated when not specified:

	Default
Memory:	2000MB (2GB)
Cores:	1
Walltime:	36 hours
