Create a job submission script (text file) script.sh:

#!/bin/bash

#SBATCH --account=myaccount
#SBATCH --partition=shared
#SBATCH --qos=scavenger
#
#SBATCH --job-name=test
#SBATCH --output=output-%j.txt
#SBATCH --error=output-%j.txt
#
#SBATCH --ntasks=1
#SBATCH --mem-per-cpu=100
#
#SBATCH --time=10:00
#
#SBATCH --gpu geforce_gtx_1080_ti:1


<commands here>

Then 

...

you will need an account (see below). All SLAC users have access to the "shared" partition with a quality of service of "scavenger". This is so that stakeholders of machines in the SDF will get priority access to their resources, whilst any user can use all resources as long as the 'owners' of the hardware isn't wanting to use it. As such, owners (or stakeholders) will have qos "normal" access to their partitions (of which such hosts are also within the shared partition).

Then, in order to submit the job: 

module load slurm
sbatch script.sh

You can then use the command to monitor your job progress:

squeue

And you can cancel the job with

scancel <jobid>

How can I request GPUs?

# request single gpu
srun -A myaccount -p mypartition1[,mypartition2] -n 1 --gpus 1 --pty /bin/bash
 
# request a gtx 1080 gpu
srun -A myaccount -p mypartition1[,mypartition2] -n 1 --gpus geforce_gtx_1080_ti:1 --pty /bin/bash
 
# request a gtx 2080 gpu
srun -A myaccount -p mypartition1[,mypartition2] -n 1 --gpus geforce_rtx_2080_ti:1 --pty /bin/bash

# request a v100 gpu
srun -A myaccount -p mypartition1[,mypartition2] -n 1 --gpus v100:1 --pty /bin/bash
