UAntwerp-specific software instructions

Slurm Workload Manager

Both Leibniz and Vaughan run Slurm Workload Manager as the resource manager and scheduler. The Slurm documentation is work-in-progress as we are still refining the setup.

• An overview of Slurm concepts and commands:

  • The Slurm Workload Manager @ UAntwerp page contains the minimum that we expect a user to know.

  • The Slurm @ UAntwerp: Advanced use page contains some more advanced commands and additional ways to request resources. Check those if you feel the basic information is not enough.

• You can also have a look at our quick PBS-to-Slurm conversion tables which will help you convert your PBS job scripts to Slurm.

• A list of important differences between Torque and Slurm
