Slurm Workload Manager
|
|
|
|
Slurm is an open-source workload 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.
|
|
|
|
The SLURM controller (slurmctld) can run without elevated privileges,
|
|
so it is recommended that a user "slurm" be created for it before Slurm is executed.
|
|
|
|
# groupadd -g 311 slurm
|
|
# useradd -u 311 -d /var/lib/slurm -s /bin/false -g slurm slurm
|
|
|
|
Next, a configuration file can be build using your favorite web browser and the
|
|
file /usr/doc/slurm-14.11.8/html/configurator.html.
