RCP vs SCITAS #18

Hi!

Thanks for making this guide. When we started to use RCP we also struggled a lot and assembled a similar internal documentation.

However, we recently switched to SCITAS as we felt it's easier to use. You also need to compile a container but then submitting jobs is merely:

╰─λ ssh scitas                                                                                                                                       130 (02:41:49.512) < 13:22:43

──────────────────────────────── Tips ────────────────────────────────
Keep Slurm scripts organized.                                         
  - Store all your Slurm scripts in a single directory,               
    e.g. ~/slurm-scripts/

Did you try SCITAS before? I am interested in your opinion :)

Best,
