-Slurm Workload Manager
+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.
