Slurm is a highly configurable open-source workload manager designed
specifically to satisfy the demanding needs of high performance
computing. Slurm is in widespread use at government laboratories,
universities and companies world wide and performs workload management
for over half of the top 10 systems in the TOP500. Use of optional
plugins provides the functionality needed to satisfy the needs of
demanding high performance computing centers. More complex
