Translations:Job arrays/10/en

Note that, other than the initial job-submission step with sbatch, the load on the scheduler is the same for an array job as for the equivalent number of non-array jobs. The cost of dispatching each array task is the same as dispatching a non-array job. You should not use a job array to submit tasks with very short run times, e.g. much less than an hour. Tasks with run times of only a few minutes should be grouped into longer jobs using META, GLOST, GNU Parallel, or a shell loop inside a job.
