## What it is
Submitit is a lightweight Python library for submitting Python functions as jobs to a Slurm cluster, wrapping submission and providing access to results and logs. It allows seamless switching between local execution and Slurm cluster execution.

## Use cases
- submit python functions to a slurm cluster
- run machine learning training jobs on hpc
- schedule batch computations on a cluster
- run experiments in parallel on slurm
- switch between local and cluster execution seamlessly
- checkpoint and resume long-running cluster jobs

## When to choose
- you have access to a Slurm cluster and want to run Python code on it
- you want a simple Pythonic API for job submission with log and result access
- you need checkpointing and error handling for cluster jobs
- you want to develop locally and run on Slurm with minimal code changes

## When to avoid
- your cluster uses a scheduler other than Slurm
- you need a full workflow manager with complex DAG dependencies
- you are not working in Python

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: workflow-automation, scheduling, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, infrastructure-as-code, machine-learning, microservices
- platform: python, cli
- tags: slurm, job-submission, hpc, cluster-computing, batch-jobs, linux
