// Using SLURM 

NCCS provides SchedMD's Slurm resource manager for users to control their scientific computing jobs and workflows on the Discover supercomputer. This video gives instructions on how users can submit jobs to be scheduled, specifying resource requests such as CPU time, memory, as well as other options for optimizing productivity.

Use Slurm commands to request both interactive and batch access to Discover computational resources.
