Problem

After your program has started, you might realize that the Slurm command squeue -u $USER  is not showing any output.

Solution

You should not run on the login nodes of the system, as they are a shared resource. Please check the section "Fair Usage of Shared Resources" under the the CSCS Policies, in particular:

  1. In order to submit batch jobs, you need to create a Slurm batch script

  2. Use the correct header information in the script as explained in Running Jobs
  3. The scheduler will allocate resources and place your job in the queue


Consider using the Slurm JobScript generator to create an efficient Slurm batch script.
