\begin{slide}
  \slideheading{General Characteristics}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item{Simplicity}
    \item{Open Source - GPL}
    \item{Portable - C, autoconf}
    \item{Interconnect independence - IP, QSW, open ended}
    \item{Scalability - $2^{16}$}
    \item{Fault Tolerance}
    \item{Secure - K5/DCE, ???}
    \item{Sys admin friendly}
  \end{itemize}
\end{slide}

\begin{slide}
  \slideheading{What is SLURM?}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item{Functions: allocate, execute, arbitrate}
    \item{Users: {\tt srun}, {\tt scancel}, {\tt squeue}}
    \item{Admins: {\tt slurmadmin}}
    \item{API for external metabatch systems and schedulers}
    \item{Daemons: {\tt slurmd} on compute nodes, {\tt slurmctld} on management node}
  \end{itemize}
\end{slide}

\begin{slide}
  \slideheading{What is !SLURM?}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item{Not a sophisticated batch scheduler}
    \item{Not a Gang scheduler - no time sharing}
    \item{Not a Metabatch system - one cluster only}
    \item{Not a comprehensive monitoring/cluster admin tool}
  \end{itemize}
\end{slide}

  \slideheading{Architecture}

\begin{slide}
  \slideheading{Slurmd}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item{Machine and Job Status Service}
    \item{Process Manager}
    \item{Stream Copy Service}
  \end{itemize}
\end{slide}

\begin{slide}
  \slideheading{Controller}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item{Machine Status Manager}
    \item{Partition Manager}
    \item{Scheduler}
    \item{Job Manager}
    \item{Job Status Manager}
    \item{Switch Manager}
  \end{itemize}
\end{slide}

\begin{slide}
  \slideheading{Command Line Utilities}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item{{\tt srun}: submit job}
    \item{{\tt squeue}: list queue of running/waiting jobs}
    \item{{\tt scancel}: cancel running/waiting job}
    \item{{\tt slurmadmin}: root only privileged commands}
  \end{itemize}
\end{slide}

  %\slideheading{Example: batch job}
  {\tt \$ srun --batch --nodes=2 --nprocs=2 mping 1 1048576}\\
  {\tt srun: pbatch-42}\\
  {\tt \$}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item{{\tt srun} authenticates, submits request to controller}
    \item{Will job ever run?  Immediate error if not.}
    \item{Assign batch ID, enqueue}
    \item{Scheduler reorders queue}
    \item{Job manager scan for cleanup}
    \item{Job manager scan for startup}
    \item{Allocate nodes from partition manager}
    \item{Send request to {\tt slurmd}'s on allocated nodes}
    \item{Begin job status monitoring}
    \item{When complete, trigger job manager cleanup}
  \end{itemize}
\end{slide}

\begin{slide}
  \slideheading{Stdin/Stdout/Stderr}
  \begin{itemize}
    \item{Copy stdin to file on compute node(s) before starting}
    \item{Spool stdout/stderr to files on compute node}
    \item{Controller copies and merges when job complete}
    \item{Interactive {\tt srun} ``tails'' files directly from {\tt slurmd}'s}
  \end{itemize}
\end{slide}

\begin{slide}
  %\slideheading{Example: batch job}
  {\tt \$ srun --nodes=2 --nprocs=2 mping 1 1048576}\\
  {\tt srun: pbatch-42}\\
  {\tt 1 pinged   0:        1 bytes      5.38 uSec     0.19 MB/s}\\
  {\tt 1 pinged   0:        2 bytes      5.32 uSec     0.38 MB/s}\\
  {\tt ...}\\
  {\tt \$}
  Same sequence as batch except:
  \begin{itemize}
    \item{{\tt srun} doesn't go away after job is started}
    \item{Controller sends list of hosts and {\em nonce}}
    \item{{\tt srun} connects to {\tt slurmd}'s and tails stdout/stderr}
    \item{{\tt srun} gets EOF on stdout/stderr streams on termination}
    \item{Or Control-C sends abort message to {\tt slurmd's} and 
          controller cleans up}
    \item{Way to detach {\tt srun} from job and let it continue as batch}
  \end{itemize}
