Get started

From a fresh workspace to a completed job in under five minutes.

Quickstart

Five minutes, one job. Go from an empty workspace to a completed Slurm job using the Vantage UI.

TimeAbout 5 minutes
You will needA Vantage account and a connected cluster
OutcomeA job script submitted and running on your cluster

Open Jobs

From the left sidebar, click Jobs. The flyout shows Templates, Scripts, Submissions, and Catalog.

Create a Script

Go to Scripts and click Create Script. Give it a name and click create. An empty entrypoint file is auto-created.

Write the script

Click the edit icon on the entrypoint file row. Paste in a simple Slurm script:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
#SBATCH --job-name=hello
#SBATCH --output=hello.%j.out
#SBATCH --time=00:05:00
#SBATCH --ntasks=1
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=1

echo "Hello from $(hostname)"
sleep 30

Click Save.

Submit it

From the script's action menu (···), click Submit Script. Pick a cluster and a partition (partitions are job queues on a cluster, your admin sets them up), then click Submit. You're redirected to the Submissions list.

Success looks like this: the submission returns an ID, and uvx v8x job submission get shows it moving through scheduler states toward completion.

Watch it run

The status moves from queued to running to done. Click the row to see logs, metrics, and Slurm job info.

The list refreshes every 5 seconds; no need to reload the page. Submissions update in place so you can watch progress live.
