What is a HPC Job? #

In the arena of HPC, we talk a lot about jobs, these are simply commands we wish to run and requests for resources (e.g. compute time, disk space, memory amount, software environments etc.). HPC jobs are generally time consuming and resource intensive run non-interactively. However, they can be run interactively, but mainly for testing purposes.You need add your jobs to a queue and when machines have free resources jobs run. Once jobs are complete, you can inspect their output.
