Hi Chris Thank you for your message. At this point I want to get familiar with SLURM the easiest way. I have two post-docs I'd like to test SLURM with. Their jobs are pretty big, they run Monte Carlo simulation. Again, this would be a test environment and can always be changed, re-configured later to answer the post-doc needs.

I'm pretty sure he's not going to be using slurmdbd? No, he may have a greater need for it to be able to do fair-share (or some other sort of balancing or hard limits) over a smaller amount of resources. A lot depends on the number of users, number of jobs, size of jobs and walltimes of them. All the best, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC
