SLURM
What is SLURM?
The Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management (SLURM) is a cluster management and job scheduling system. We use SLURM to allocate access to resources (i.e. compute nodes, cpus, gpus, and memory), prevent resource conflicts, and ensure fair and equitable access to Talapas resources. SLURM also provides a means of coordinating workflows, establishing job dependencies, and queueing jobs when the system is fully utilized.
Where can I learn more about SLURM?
Full documentation, quick start guides, and tutorials are on the Slurm website. We have several how-to guides on this site covering several key components of Slurm including job submission process.
