Job Arrays allows users to submit a series of jobs using a single submission command and a single submission script. A typical use of this is the need to batch process a large number of very similar jobs, which have similar input. A job array is a single job with a list of sub-jobs.
Example Job Array PBS script
#PBS -l nodes=1:ppn=1:red echo array id: $PBS_ARRAYID cd run-$PBS_ARRAYID/ a.out --input file.$PBS_ARRAYID
To submit 100 jobs at once:
qsub -t 1-100 script.pbs
Then use “qstat -t” to see the status of all the jobs in the array.
