Job Submission Generator

Update

Scale Out Computing on AWS has been renamed Engineering Development Hub (EDH) in April 2026. Refer to https://awslabs.github.io/engineering-development-hub-documentation/ for the new documentation if you are using EDH 26.4 or newer.

Automatic parameter selection

• You can manually specify parameters at job submission using the command below. If needed, all parameters can also be automatically configured at queue level.
• Job will use the default parameters configured for its queue unless the parameters are explicitly specified during submission (job parameters override queue parameters).
• Refer to this page for additional examples.
