Slurm Workload Manager

This is the Slurm Workload Manager. Slurm is an open-source cluster resource management and job scheduling system that strives to be simple, scalable, portable, fault-tolerant, and interconnect agnostic. Slurm currently has been tested only under Linux.

As a cluster resource manager, Slurm provides three key functions. First, it allocates exclusive and/or non-exclusive access to resources (compute nodes) to users for some duration of time so they can perform work. Second, it provides a framework for starting, executing, and monitoring work (normally a parallel job) on the set of allocated nodes. Finally, it arbitrates conflicting requests for resources by managing a queue of pending work.

SOURCE DISTRIBUTION HIERARCHY

The top-level distribution directory contains this README as well as other high-level documentation files, and the scripts used to configure and build Slurm (see INSTALL). Subdirectories contain the source-code for Slurm as well as a test suite and further documentation. A quick description of the subdirectories of the Slurm distribution follows:

src/ [ Slurm source ] Slurm source code is further organized into self explanatory subdirectories such as src/api, src/slurmctld, etc.

doc/ [ Slurm documentation ] The documentation directory contains some latex, html, and ascii text papers, READMEs, and guides. Manual pages for the Slurm commands and configuration files are also under the doc/ directory.

etc/ [ Slurm configuration ] The etc/ directory contains a sample config file, as well as some scripts useful for running Slurm.

slurm/ [ Slurm include files ] This directory contains installed include files, such as slurm.h and slurm_errno.h, needed for compiling against the Slurm API.

testsuite/ [ Slurm test suite ] The testsuite directory contains an extensive collection of tests written for Check, Expect and Pytest.

auxdir/ [ autotools directory ] Directory for autotools scripts and files used to configure and build Slurm

contribs/ [ helpful tools outside of Slurm proper ] Directory for anything that is outside of slurm proper such as a different api or such. To have this build you need to do a make contrib/install-contrib.
