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 exible and fault-tolerant and can be ported to other clusters of dierent size and architecture with minimal eort. We are certain that SLURM will bene t both users and system architects by providing them with a simple, robust, and highly scalable parallel job execution environment for their cluster system.
