[slurm-users] Array jobs vs. many jobs

[Ryan Novosielski]

Hi there,

Quick question that I'm not sure how to find the answer to otherwise: do array jobs have less impact on the scheduler in any way than a whole long list of jobs run the more traditional way? Less startup overhead, anything like that?

Thanks!

(we run 17.11 on CentOS 7, but I'm not sure it makes any difference here)
