I'm trying to run an embarrassingly parallel experiment, with 500+ tasks that all differ in one parameter. e.g.:
job 1 - script.py foo job 2 - script.py bar job 3 - script.py baz and so on. This seems like a case where having a slurm array hold all of these jobs would help, so I could just submit one job to my cluster instead of 500 individual jobs. It seems like sarray is only set up for varying an integer index parameter. How would i do this for non-numeric values (say, if the parameter I'm varying is a string in a given list) ?
