SLURM is an open-source resource manager designed for Linux clusters of
|
|
all sizes. It provides three key functions. First it allocates exclusive
|
|
and/or non-exclusive access to resources (computer nodes) to users for some
|
|
duration of time so they can perform work. Second, it provides a framework
|
|
for starting, executing, and monitoring work (typically a parallel job) on
|
|
a set of allocated nodes. Finally, it arbitrates contention for resources
|
|
by managing a queue of pending work.
