Get started

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

Quickstart

Five minutes, one job.

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

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

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

tip

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