Improve description of interactive SLURM jobs
The current description of interactive SLURM jobs is misleading. It is not clear when to use salloc
and when to use srun --pty bash
and what the consequences are for each case.
For example, it is not possible to start applications with srun
within an srun --pty bash
Job (unless you use --overlap, but I have no experience with that). On the other hand, srun --pty bash
will give you a shell on a compute node, which salloc
does not.
