+# GNU Parallel setup for SLURM
+
+## Summary
+
+There is a little bit of setup work to get GNU Parallel to work with
+the SLURM scheduler.  Namely one has to:
+
+- Create an `*.sshloginfile` containing a list of hostnames
+  and CPU counts that have been assigned by SLURM.
+- Export the environment, including the current directory.
+
+The `parallel-slurm-setup.sh` takes care of both these and provides an
+environmental variable `$parallel` for you to run the parallel
+executable with some sensible options.
+
+## Usage
+
+Clone this Git repository e.g. in your home directory:
+
+``` sh
+# From the command-line
+cd
+git clone https://github.uconn.edu/HPC/parallel-slurm.git
+```
+
+Add the following 2 lines to your SLURM job submission file
+
+``` sh
+# Inside your SLURM submission file
+source ~/parallel-slurm/parallel-slurm-setup.sh
+$parallel YOUR_PROGRAM ...
+```
+
+## Example
+
+See the `submit.slurm` example file.  Run it using:
+
+``` sh
+# From the command-line
+sbatch submit.slurm
+```
+
+You should see the output of the compute node names in submit.out.
+For example:
+
+``` sh
+# Inside your submit.out
+cn328
+cn327
+cn327
+cn328
+cn327
+```
