Main Keywords for Job Scripts
The method of resource allocation needs to be specified for a desired job by using the appropriate keywords in the job script. The main keywords are presented as follows; users can create a job script file using these keywords.
job-name ( -J, --job-name ) Specifies the job name. If the job name is not specified, the name of the script file is adopted as the job name.
time ( -t, --time ) Indicates the expected job duration; it is recommended to set this slightly longer than the actual expected job duration. If the wall time limit for the partition is exceeded, the job is not submitted. If the job is not completed within the specified time, the SLURM scheduler forcibly terminates the job.

input ( -i, --input ) Specifies the standard input.
cpus-per-task ( -c, --cpus-per-task ) Specifies the number of CPUs required for each job task.
