Create a list of SLURM resources with friendly parsing

Builds a resource specification for SLURM job submission with convenient parsing of time formats and memory specifications. Handles common abbreviations and normalizes values for batchtools compatibility.

Usage

batch_resources(
  partition = NULL,
  time = NULL,
  nodes = NULL,
  ntasks = NULL,
  ntasks_per_node = NULL,
  cpus_per_task = NULL,
  ncpus = NULL,
  mem = NULL,
  account = NULL,
  qos = NULL,
  modules = NULL,
  omp_num_threads = NULL
)

Arguments

partition: SLURM partition name
time: Time limit (accepts formats like '2h', '90min', 'H:MM:SS')
nodes: Number of nodes required
ntasks: Number of tasks
ntasks_per_node: Number of tasks per node
cpus_per_task: CPUs per task
ncpus: Alias for cpus_per_task
mem: Memory requirement (e.g., "4GB", "1000MB")
account: SLURM account to charge
qos: Quality of service level
modules: Environment modules to load
omp_num_threads: OpenMP thread count

Value

Named list suitable for batchtools submitJobs resources

Examples

batch_resources(time = "2h", mem = "4GB", cpus_per_task = 4)
#> $time
#> [1] "2:00:00"
#> 
#> $cpus_per_task
#> [1] 4
#> 
#> $mem
#> [1] "4GB"
#> 
batch_resources(partition = "gpu", time = "30min")
#> $partition
#> [1] "gpu"
#> 
#> $time
#> [1] "0:30:00"
#>
