LXer: Optimizing resource management in supercomputers with SLURM
 

Published at LXer:

The arms race of supercomputers is fascinating to watch as their evolving architectures squeeze out more and more performance. One interesting fact about supercomputers is that they all run a version of Linux. To yield the greatest amount of power from an architecture, the SLURM open source job scheduler (used by the Chinese Tianhe-IA supercomputer, and the upcoming IBM Sequoia supercomputer) optimizes resource allocation and monitoring. Learn about SLURM and its approach to parallelizing workloads in clusters.
