Ah Slurm, so good to see it still being used. As soon as I touched it in ~2010 I realized this was finally the solid queue management system we needed. Things like Sun Grid Engine or PBS were always such awful and burdensome PoS.

IIRC, Slurm came out of LLNL, and it finally made both usage and management of a cluster of nodes really easy and fun.

Compare Slurm to something like AWS Batch or Google Batch and just laugh at what the cloud has created...
