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.
