| A new cluster resource management system called |
| Simple Linux Utility Resource Management (SLURM) is described |
| in this paper. SLURM, initially developed for large |
| Linux clusters at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), |
| is a simple cluster manager that can scale to thousands of processors. |
| SLURM is designed to be flexible and fault-tolerant and can be ported to |
| other clusters of different size and architecture with minimal effort. |
| We are certain that SLURM will benefit both users and system architects |
| by providing them with a simple, robust, and highly scalable parallel |
| job execution environment for their cluster system. |
