Example batch job scripts for Mahti
Example job scripts for running different types of programs:
Note
If you use the scripts (please do!), do not forget to change the resources
(time, tasks etc.) to match your needs and to replace myprog <options>
with the executable (and options) of the program you wish to run as well
as <project> with the name of your project.

## if local fast disk on a node is also needed, replace above line with:
#SBATCH --gres=gpu:a100:1,nvme:900
#
## Please remember to load the environment your application may need.
## And use the variable $LOCAL_SCRATCH in your batch job script
## to access the local fast storage on each node.
