  2. Maxwell Useful Commands

  3. Running Batch Jobs

  4. Key Methods:

  5. sbatch: Submit a script with resource directives (e.g., #SBATCH --nodes=1). Example: bash #!/bin/bash #SBATCH --job-name=test #SBATCH --time=01:00:00 echo "Hello from Maxwell"
  6. srun: Run interactive/command-line jobs directly (e.g., srun -N 1 -n 4 hostname).

  7. salloc: Reserve resources without immediate execution (e.g., salloc --nodes=2).
