+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.
+
+Optional dependencies:
+HWLOC=yes|no (default: no), requires hwloc
+RRDTOOL=yes|no (default: no), requires rrdtool
+NUMA auto-detected, requires numactl
