Under simulation jobs are not actually executed. Instead a job execution trace
from a real system or a synthetic trace are used.</p>

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

<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><br>

<li><b>Sqlog</b><br>
A set of scripts that leverages SLURM's job completion logging facility
in provide information about what jobs were running at any point in the
past as well as what resources they used. Download the code from:<br>
