[slurm-users] Slurm commands for launching tasks: salloc and sbatch

[Татьяна Озерова]

Hello! I have question about way of launching tasks in Slurm. I use the
service in cloud and submit an application with sbatch or salloc. As far as
I am concerned, the commands are similar: they allocate resources for
counting users tasks and run them. However, I have received different
results in cluster performance for the same task (task execution time is
too long in case of salloc). So my question is what is the difference
between these two commands, that can affect on task performance? Thank you
beforehand.
