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 |
