Slurm Job Example

Step 1: Make a subjects file listing the subject numbers (e.g., subjects.txt), one per line, as in:

1131276 
1131277 
1131327 
1131365 ...

Step 2: Make your job file template. This file calls your bash script, but does it through slurm. A python script replaces the subject number in this template file, saves a new subject-specific job file, and submits the job. The example below submits a lausanne atlas job (Note: save in scratch).

#!/bin/bash
##---Number of core
#SBATCH -n 4
#
##---Job's name in slurm system
#SBATCH -J lausanne_subject
#
##---Error file
#SBATCH -e /home/data/dcnlab/AHEAD/error/lausanne_err_subject
#
##---Output file
#SBATCH -o /home/data/dcnlab/AHEAD/out/lausanne_out_subject
#
##---Queue name
#SBATCH -q pq_dcn
#
##---Access
#
#SBATCH -A acc_dcn

##---Memory Allocation
#SBATCH --mem-per-cpu 4000
#
##---Partition
#SBATCH -p investor

Step 3: Write your bash script for the job. The example below is to apply the lausanne atlas transformation. The text below would be in a .sh file named lausanne_AHEAD.sh, which is called by the slurm job script.

#!/bin/bash
##make sure to run module load from submit jobs script before running this line by line
