Jobs can be submitted using the 'sbatch' command, generally followed by the name of the submission script.  Common line options are included in the sample scripts. A full listing can be found in the man pages ('man sbatch'). Status of queued or running jobs can be obtained via the 'sstat' command. 

Interactive job submission can also be used.

#!/bin/bash

# specify which shell to use.  Bash is recommended unless
# there is a compelling reason to use another.

# Sample slurm submission script for the Gibbs compute cluster
# Lines beginning with # are comments, and will be ignored by
# the interpreter.  Lines beginning with #SBATCH are directives
# to the scheduler.  These in turn can be commented out by
# adding a second # (e.g. ##SBATCH lines will not be processed
# by the scheduler).

# set name of job
#SBATCH --job-name=slurm-sample

# set the number of nodes
##SBATCH -N2

# set the number of processes per node
#SBATCH -n 2

#set an account to use
#if not used then default will be used
##SBATCH --account=scavenger

# set the number of GPU cards per node
# --gres=gpu[[:type]:count]
#SBATCH --gres=gpu:GTX670:4

#Or can use this
##SBATCH --gres=gpu:2

# set max wallclock time  DD-HH:MM:SS
#SBATCH --time=14-10:00:00

#To get error and output
#SBATCH --error=myRecord.err
#SBATCH --output=myRecord.out
#

#Optional
# set the partition where the job will run
##SBATCH --partition=GTX670

#Optional
# mail alert at start, end and abortion of execution
##SBATCH --mail-type=ALL

# send mail to this address
##SBATCH --mail-user=joe.user@umb.edu

Interactive

Use the following command to submit an interactive job on Gibbs

srun -N 1 -n 4  --gres=gpu:1   -p GTX670   -A    -t 08:40:00 --pty bash

Note: Specify duration of time more than the expected time of job completion, this might reduce the chances of job being aborted.
