Hi everyone, I've to administrate a small cluster and I'm intersted in your opinion or experience with the resource managers/batch systems you use. ATM, there's Torque installed, and I'm not too happy with it, especially with the documentation. I've found a thread on debian-science about packaging SLURM [1] and had a look at it, and at a first glance it seems that more people care about it then Torque. But that may be wrong. The cluster is new, so there would be no problem with switching to a different resource manager. Our requirements are quite low, a default FIFO scheduler will do. (The only thing really needed is support of Prologue/Epiloque scripting, addressing single cores and two batch queues.) I've the impression that SLURM will be maintained more actively and during a longer time in the future. The better documentation probably will ease up things when I run into trouble or the requirements change. Torque's documentation is more like a tutorial without much explanation of what's happening and I don't feel very comfortable with this. So, I'd be thankful if you would share you opinion with me! Thanks in advance! Best regards Manuel -- 1. http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2007/03/msg00007.html
