A '''batch script''' is usually a shell script, which consists of two parts:

* a header section, which contains special comments. These comments are ignored by the shell reading the file, but are interpreted by the [[batch system]] and contain information on the resources needed by the job. Typically that is:
** number of compute cores (the smallest cpu unit on a computer able to run run one sequence of commands)
** the time the job will need to finish
** if required, disk space
** memory required by the job
* the (shell) script section, which is interpreted like any script. This contains a sequence of commands that do
** some preparatory tasks (copying files to the local disk)
** run the actual compute job
** copy data back to the user's HOME directory and clean up after the job.
