TITLE:		Slurm Workload Manager


SPEAKER:	MORRIS JETTE   (CTO, SchedMD LLC)


ABSTRACT:

Slurm is an open-source, fault-tolerant and highly scalable workload management 
framework. Slurm includes an extensive suite of plugins to support a wide range 
of architectures and use cases ranging from managing the processes and cores on 
a single microprocessor to managing the workload on many of the largest 
computers in the world.  Some of Slurm's advanced features include resource 
allocations optimized for network topology, gang scheduling (time-slicing of 
parallel jobs), hot-spare resources for failure management, energy management, 
and the ability to re-size running job.  An overview of Slurm's architecture 
and capabilities will be presented along with future development plans to 
satisfy the needs of exascale computing.
