slurm

Description

Slurm is an open source, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cluster
management and job scheduling system for large and small Linux clusters.
Slurm requires no kernel modifications for its operation and is
relatively self-contained. As a cluster workload manager, Slurm has
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 contention for resources by
managing a queue of pending work.
