Jobstats is a free and open-source job monitoring platform designed for CPU and GPU clusters that use the Slurm workload manager.

The jobstats command provides users with a Slurm job efficiency report:

                                     Notes
================================================================================
  * This job only used 6% of the 256GB of total allocated CPU memory. For
    future jobs, please allocate less memory by using a Slurm directive such
    as --mem-per-cpu=1G or --mem=10G. This will reduce your queue times and
    make the resources available to other users. For more info:
      https://researchcomputing.princeton.edu/support/knowledge-base/memory

  * This job only needed 19% of the requested time which was 4-00:00:00. For
    future jobs, please request less time by modifying the --time Slurm
    directive. This will lower your queue times and allow the Slurm job
    scheduler to work more effectively for all users. For more info:
