SC 2025 HUST Workshop Presentation
If you saw my talk on CLS at HUST 2025, or heard about it through some other means, please take the survey about using it here: CLS Survey Jotform Link.
An audience question: I sould have mentioned that ther'es nothing in CLS that's specific to slurm. The only thing that matters is that all submit flags are before the first executable file. CLS doesn't care what are in the static files, but of course it has to match what's in the system. It does mean that the core script has to be built so that it satisfies the flags of *any* job systems it will be deployed with.
From the November 16, 2025 talk:
CLS is currently avaiable in a subdirectory of the parfu repo here: parfu's github page.
