## Single core based job examples

```bash
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --partition=hourly      # Using 'hourly' will grant higher priority
#SBATCH --ntasks-per-core=2     # Request the max ntasks be invoked on each core
#SBATCH --hint=multithread      # Use extra threads with in-core multi-threading
#SBATCH --time=00:30:00         # Define max time job will run
#SBATCH --output=myscript.out   # Define your output file
#SBATCH --error=myscript.err    # Define your error file

module purge
module load $MODULE_NAME # where $MODULE_NAME is a software in PModules
srun $MYEXEC             # where $MYEXEC is a path to your binary file
```

## Multi-core based jobs example

### Pure MPI

```bash
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=purempi
#SBATCH --partition=daily      # Using 'daily' will grant higher priority
#SBATCH --time=24:00:00        # Define max time job will run
#SBATCH --output=%x-%j.out     # Define your output file
#SBATCH --error=%x-%j.err      # Define your error file
#SBATCH --exclusive
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks=128
#SBATCH --hint=nomultithread
##SBATCH --cpus-per-task=1

module purge
module load $MODULE_NAME # where $MODULE_NAME is a software in PModules
srun $MYEXEC             # where $MYEXEC is a path to your binary file
```

### Hybrid

```bash
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --job-name=hybrid
#SBATCH --partition=daily      # Using 'daily' will grant higher priority
#SBATCH --time=24:00:00        # Define max time job will run
#SBATCH --output=%x-%j.out     # Define your output file
#SBATCH --error=%x-%j.err      # Define your error file
#SBATCH --exclusive
#SBATCH --nodes=1
#SBATCH --ntasks=128
#SBATCH --hint=multithread
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=2

module purge
module load $MODULE_NAME # where $MODULE_NAME is a software in PModules
srun $MYEXEC             # where $MYEXEC is a path to your binary file
```
