Run Multiple Jobs with SLURM Array: The Right Way

March 5, 2026

Run Multiple Job Variations with SLURM Array Jobs — Without Manual Code Duplication

You’ve written a solid experiment script. Now you need to run it 50 times with different parameters—learning rates, batch sizes, model architectures—across your HPC cluster.

The tempting shortcut: copy-paste your job script 50 times, manually edit each one, submit them all.

The reality: you’ll waste hours managing parameter files, lose track of which job used which settings, and have no way to scale this to 500 experiments.
