Operational steps​

  1. Place all cases requiring batch submission into subdirectories within a single folder Structure example: Where 'test2' is the folder for batch job submission, and '1-4' represent subdirectories for individual job cases

  2. Place the first script mentioned above in 'test2', defaulting to '1.sh', and place the prepared job submission script 'run.slurm' in 'test2' Structure illustration:

  3. Execute 1.sh source 1.sh

  4. Script parsing

  5. Traverse all files in the current directory

  6. Check if the item is a directory

  7. Copy the submission script to the sub-case directory

  8. Add execution permissions to the submission script and submit the job Note: Place one case in each sub-case directory. Submission scripts requiring specified input files need to be modified.
