[slurm-users] Managing Multiple Dependencies

[Jason Simms]

Hello all,

I am relatively new to the nuances of handling complex dependencies in
Slurm, so I'm hoping the hive mind can help. I have a user wanting to
accomplish the following:

   - submit one job
   - submit multiple jobs that are dependent on the output from the first
   job (so they just need to launch once the first job has completed)
   - submit one final job dependent on all the previous jobs completing

Is there a way to do this cleanly? So it's a three stage process. I have
ideas in my head of writing Slurm JobIDs to a file, reading them out, and
managing dependencies that way, but perhaps there is a more efficient way
(or perhaps not!).

Warmest regards,
Jason
