Slurm
Slurm is an open source, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cluster management and job scheduling system for Linux clusters. 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.
You can learn more information at the Slurm website.
Commands
Slurm has many commands. Here are a few common ones you'll use when submitting jobs:
| srun | A blocking command that submits a job in real time to the cluster. |
| sbatch | A non-blocking command that submits a job to the queue to be run as resources allow. |
| squeue | Shows information about queued jobs. |
| scancel | Stop queued jobs. |
