Common Slurm Commands
| Command | Description |
| sbatch | Submits a batch script to SLURM. The batch script may be given to sbatch through a file name on the command line, or if no file name is specified, sbatch will read in a script from standard input. |
| squeue | Used to view job and job step information for jobs managed by SLURM. |
| scancel | Used to signal or cancel jobs, job arrays or job steps. |
| sinfo | Used to view partition and node information for a system running SLURM. |

Common Submission Flags
| Flag | Description |
| -J / --job-name | Specify a name for the job |
| -N / --nodes | Specifies the number of nodes to be allocated to a job |
| -n / --ntasks | Specifies the allocation of resources e.g. for 1 Compute Node the maximum would be 28 |
| -o / --output | Specifies the name of the output file |
| -e / --error | Specifies the name of the error file |
| -p / --partition | Specifies the specific partition for the job e.g. compute, highmem, gpu |
| --exclusive | Requests exclusive access to nodes preventing other jobs from running |
