Generate scripts

Generate a slurm script to slurm_script.sh with

❯ generate-slurm-script --nodes 1 --ntasks-per-node 16 --output slurm_script.sh
❯ cat slurm_script.sh
#!/bin/bash
##########################################
#SBATCH --nodes 1                        # number of nodes on which to run
#SBATCH --ntasks_per_node 16             # number of tasks to invoke on each node
##########################################

To export the settings to a json file you can use --export-json:

❯ generate-slurm-script --nodes 2 --export-json setup.json
#!/bin/bash
##########################################
#SBATCH --nodes 2                        # number of nodes on which to run
##########################################

This json file can used as a basis for creating new scripts

❯ generate-slurm-script --input setup.json --ntasks-per-node 16
#!/bin/bash
##########################################
#SBATCH --nodes 2                        # number of nodes on which to run
#SBATCH --ntasks_per_node 16             # number of tasks to invoke on each node

Add modules

Add modules with

❯ generate-slurm-script --modules gcc/13 openmpi/5.0
#!/bin/bash
##########################################
##########################################

module purge                             # Purge modules
module load gcc/13 openmpi/5.0           # modules
module list                              # List loaded modules

Add virtual environment

❯ generate-slurm-script --nodes 1 --ntasks-per-node 16 --venv ~/virtual_envs/env
args_dict.get("modules") = None
#!/bin/bash
##########################################
#SBATCH --nodes 1                        # number of nodes on which to run
