slurm-script-generator 0.2.1

Generate slurm scripts.

slurm-script-generator

pip install slurm-script-generator

Generate scripts

Generate a slurm script to slurm_script.sh with

generate-slurm-script --nodes 1 --ntasks-per-node 16

#!/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 save the script to file my_script.sh use --output:

generate-slurm-script --nodes 1 --ntasks-per-node 16 --output my_script.sh

You can also generate scripts in Python programmatically:

from slurm_script_generator.pragmas import Nodes, Ntasks_per_node
from slurm_script_generator.slurm_script import SlurmScript

slurm_script = SlurmScript(
    custom_command="srun ./bin > run.out",
)

slurm_script.add_pragma(Nodes(value=2))
slurm_script.add_pragma(Ntasks_per_node(value=16))

print(slurm_script)

#!/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
##########################################
srun ./bin > run.out

You can also generate a string representation of the script with generate_script:

script = slurm_script.generate_script()

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 --input setup.json --ntasks-per-node 16 --modules gcc/13 openmpi/5.0

#!/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
##########################################
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

#!/bin/bash
##########################################
#SBATCH --nodes=1                        # number of nodes on which to run
