Research direction

Start with the Slurm array section at the linked batch-array-jobs page and review the nearby Slurm tutorial and practical sbatch pages for terminology and indexing context. Done means the Introduction explains zero- versus one-based indexing, links both referenced pages, and defines key terms such as SLURM_ARRAY_TASK_ID.
