 "Today our largest IBM computers, BlueGene/L and Purple, ranked #1 and #3
 respectively on the November 2005 Top500 list, use SLURM.
 This decision reduces large job launch times from tens of minutes to seconds.
 This effectively provides
 us with millions of dollars with of additional compute resources without
 additional cost.  It also allows our computational scientists to use their
 time more effectively.  SLURM is scalable to very large numbers of processors,
 another essential ingredient for use at LLNL. This means larger computer
 systems can be used than otherwise possible with a commensurate increase in
 the scale of problems that can be solved. SLURM's scalability has eliminated
 resource management from being a concern for computers of any foreseeable
 size. It is one of the best things to happen to massively parallel computing."

 "We are extremely pleased with SLURM and strongly recommend it to others
 because it is mature, the developers are highly responsive and
 it just works."<br><br>
 Jeffrey M. Squyres, Pervasive Technology Labs at Indiana University
 </i>
 <HR SIZE=4>

 <i>
 We adopted SLURM as our resource manager over two years ago when it was at
 the 0.3.x release level. Since then it has become an integral and important
 component of our production research services. Its stability, flexibility
 and performance has allowed us to significantly increase the quality of
 experience we offer to our researchers."<br><br>

 "SLURM is the coolest thing since the invention of UNIX...
 We now can control who can log into [compute nodes] or at least can control
 which ones to allow logging into.  This will be a tremendous help for users
 who are developing their apps."<br><br>

 <i>
 "SLURM is a great product that I'd recommend to anyone setting up a cluster,
 or looking to reduce their costs by abandoning an existing commercial
 resource manager."<br><br>

 Oak Ridge National Laboratory

 <i>
 "SLURM is under active development, is easy to use, works quite well,
 and most important to your harried author, it hasn't been a nightmare
 to configure or manage. (Strong praise, that.) I would range SLURM as
 the best of the three open source batching systems available, by rather
 a large margin." <br><br>
 Bryan O'Sullivan, Pathscale

 <i>
 "SLURM scales perfectly to the size of MareNostrum without noticeable
 performance degradation; the daemons running on the compute nodes are
 light enough to not interfere with the applications' processes and the
 status reports are accurate and concise, allowing us to spot possible
 anomalies in a single sight." <br><br>
 Erest Artiaga, Barcelona Supercomputing Center

 <i>
 "SLURM was a great help for us in implementing our own very concise
 job management system on top of it which could be taylored precisely
 to our needs, and which at the same time is very simple to use for
 our customers.
 In general, we are impressed with the stability, scalability, and performance
 of SLURM. Furthermore, SLURM is very easy to configure and use. The fact that
 SLURM is open-source software with a free license is also advantageous for us
 in terms of cost-benefit considerations." <br><br>

 "SLURM has been adopted as the parallel allocation infrastructure used
 in HP's premier cluster stack, XC System Software. SLURM has permitted
 easy scaling of parallel applications on cluster systems with thousands
 of processors, and has also proven itself to be highly portable and
 efficient between interconnects including Quadrics, QsNet, Myrinet,
 Infiniband and Gigabit Ethernet."
