<h1>Download</h1>
<p>
SLURM source can be downloaded from 
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/slurm/">
http://sourceforge.net/projects/slurm/</a><br>
SLURM has also been packaged for 
<a href="http://packages.debian.org/src:slurm-llnl">Debian</a> and 
<a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/src:slurm-llnl">Ubuntu</a>
(both named <i>slurm-llnl</i>).</p>

<p> Other software available for download includes
<ul>
<li><b>PAM Modules (pam_slurm)</b><br>
Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) for restricting access to compute nodes 
where SLURM performs resource management. Access to the node is restricted to 
user root and users who have been allocated resources on that node. <br>
pam_slurm is available for download from 
<a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/slurm/"> 
https://sourceforge.net/projects/slurm/</a><br> 
SLURM's PAM module has also been packaged for 
<a href="http://packages.debian.org/src:libpam-slurm">Debian</a> and 
<a href="http://packages.ubuntu.com/src:libpam-slurm">Ubuntu</a>
(both named <i>libpam-slurm</i>).</li>

<li><b>SPANK Plugins</b><br>
SPANK provides a very generic interface for stackable plug-ins which
may be used to dynamically modify the job launch code in SLURM. SPANK
plugins may be built without access to SLURM source code. They need
only be compiled against SLURM’s spank.h header file, added to the
SPANK config file plugstack.conf, and they will be loaded at runtime
during the next job launch. Thus, the SPANK infrastructure provides
administrators and other developers a low cost, low effort ability to
dynamically modify the runtime behavior of SLURM job launch.
As assortment of SPANK plugins are available from<br>
<a href="http://code.google.com/p/slurm-spank-plugins/">
http://code.google.com/p/slurm-spank-plugins/</a>.<br>
The current source for the plugins can be checked out of the subversion
repository with the following command:<br>
<i>svn checkout http://slurm-spank-plugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ slurm-plugins</i></li>

<li><b>I/O Watchdog</b><br>
A facility for monitoring user applications, most notably parallel jobs, 
for <i>hangs</i> which typically have a side-effect of ceasing all write 
activity. This faciltiy attempts to monitor all write activity of an 
application and trigger a set of user-defined actions when write activity 
as ceased for a configurable period of time. A SPANK plugin is provided
for use with SLURM. See the README and man page in the package for more
details. Download the latest source from:<br>
