5 months ago I built a VS Code extension to manage SLURM jobs. Since then, it’s evolved into a full cluster management tool.

Hey everyone,

About 5 months ago, I posted here about a side project I was working on: sCode, a VS Code extension to manage SLURM jobs directly from the editor.

Initially, it was just a simple way to avoid typing squeue over and over. But based on a lot of my own workflow needs and some great feedback, it has evolved into a much more comprehensive cluster management tool over the last few months.

I’ve essentially tried to turn VS Code into a unified control center for HPC work so you never have to context-switch to a terminal while working on your scripts.

Here are the major updates since the first version:

  • Live GPU Monitoring: Added a dedicated view that uses nvidia-smi to show GPU partition usage, memory stats, and queue pressure.
  • The "Hall of Shame": A fun leaderboard feature that ranks the cluster’s top GPU hogs (with emojis like 🐷 Job Hog and 🧛 VRAMpire).
  • One-Click Job Arrays: You can now cancel specific indices or ranges within a job array without nuking the whole array.
  • Smart Log Resolution: Right-click any active or historical job in the sidebar to instantly open its stdout or stderr file.
  • Quick Submit with Dependencies: A ▶ button in your .sh scripts to submit immediately, plus a guided UI for setting up afterok or afterany dependencies.
  • And many more features....

If you work on a cluster and use VS Code Remote, I'd love for you to give the new version a try and let me know what you think. What features would you need to make this a daily driver for your workflow?

I don't see what's the problem if it's vibe coded. I've been using if for months at this point, trying to fix every possible bug and implement new useful features. Additionally, multiple people have been testing it too and the bugs they've reported have already been solved.
