Literal job arrays are built into Slurm:
https://slurm.schedmd.com/job_array.html
Alternatively, if you wanted to allocate a set of CPUs for a parallel task, and
then run a set of single-CPU tasks in the same job, something like:
#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH --ntasks=30
srun --ntasks=${SLURM_NTASKS} hostname
is one way of doing it. If that’s not what you’re looking for, some other
details would be needed.
