NAME

       slurm.conf - Slurm configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/slurm.conf   is  an  ASCII  file  which  describes  general  SLURM
       configuration information, the nodes to be managed,  information  about
       how  those  nodes  are  grouped into partitions, and various scheduling
       parameters associated  with  those  partitions.  This  file  should  be
       consistent across all nodes in the cluster.

       The  file  location  can  be  modified  at  system build time using the
       DEFAULT_SLURM_CONF parameter. In addition, you can use  the  SLURM_CONF
       environment  variable  to  override the built-in location of this file.
       The SLURM daemons also allow you to  override  both  the  built-in  and
       environment-provided  location  using  the  "-f"  option on the command
       line.

       Note the while SLURM daemons  create  log  files  and  other  files  as
       needed,  it  treats  the  lack  of parent directories as a fatal error.
       This prevents the daemons from running if critical file systems are not
       mounted  and  will minimize the risk of cold-starting (starting without
       preserving jobs).

       The contents of the file are case insensitive except for the  names  of
       nodes  and  partitions.  Any  text following a "#" in the configuration
       file is treated as a comment through the end of that line.  The size of
       each  line  in  the file is limited to 1024 characters.  Changes to the
       configuration file take effect upon restart of  SLURM  daemons,  daemon
       receipt  of  the  SIGHUP  signal, or execution of the command "scontrol
       reconfigure" unless otherwise noted.

       If a line begins with the word "Include"  followed  by  whitespace  and
       then  a  file  name, that file will be included inline with the current
       configuration file.

       Note on file permissions:

       The slurm.conf file must be readable by all users of SLURM, since it is
       used  by  many  of the SLURM commands.  Other files that are defined in
       the slurm.conf file, such as log files and job  accounting  files,  may
       need  to  be  created/owned  by  the "SlurmUser" uid to be successfully
       accessed.  Use the "chown" and "chmod" commands to  set  the  ownership
       and  permissions  appropriately.   See  the  section FILE AND DIRECTORY
       PERMISSIONS for information about the  various  files  and  directories
       used by SLURM.

PARAMETERS

       The overall configuration parameters available include:

       AccountingStorageBackupHost
              The  name  of  the backup machine hosting the accounting storage
              database.  If used with the accounting_storage/slurmdbd  plugin,
              this  is  where the backup slurmdbd would be running.  Only used
              for database type storage plugins, ignored otherwise.

       AccountingStorageEnforce
              This controls what level of enforcement you want on associations
              when  new jobs are submitted.  Valid options are any combination
              of associations, limits, and wckeys, or all for all things.   If
              limits  is  set  associations is implied.  If wckeys is set both
              limits and associations are implied along with TrackWckey  being
              set.   By  enforcing  Associations  no new job is allowed to run
              unless a corresponding association exists  in  the  system.   If
              limits  are  enforced users can be limited by association to how
              many nodes or how long jobs  can  run  or  other  limits.   With
              wckeys  enforced  jobs  will  not  be  scheduled  unless a valid
              workload characterization key is specified.  This value may  not
              be  reset  via  "scontrol  reconfig".  It only takes effect upon
              restart of the slurmctld daemon.

       AccountingStorageHost
              The name of the machine hosting the accounting storage database.
              Only  used for database type storage plugins, ignored otherwise.
              Also see DefaultStorageHost.

       AccountingStorageLoc
              The fully qualified  file  name  where  accounting  records  are
              written       when       the       AccountingStorageType      is
              "accounting_storage/filetxt" or else the name  of  the  database
              where     accounting     records    are    stored    when    the
              AccountingStorageType    is    a     database.      Also     see
              DefaultStorageLoc.

       AccountingStoragePass
              The  password  used  to gain access to the database to store the
              accounting data.  Only used for database type  storage  plugins,
              ignored  otherwise.   In the case of SLURM DBD (Database Daemon)
              with Munge authentication this can be configured to use a  Munge
              daemon specifically configured to provide authentication between
              clusters while the default Munge daemon provides  authentication
              within  a  cluster.   In that case, AccountingStoragePass should
              specify the named port to be used for  communications  with  the
              alternate Munge daemon (e.g.  "/var/run/munge/global.socket.2").
              The default value is NULL.  Also see DefaultStoragePass.

       AccountingStoragePort
              The listening port of the accounting  storage  database  server.
              Only  used for database type storage plugins, ignored otherwise.
              Also see DefaultStoragePort.

       AccountingStorageType
              The accounting storage mechanism  type.   Acceptable  values  at
              present           include          "accounting_storage/filetxt",
              "accounting_storage/mysql",           "accounting_storage/none",
              "accounting_storage/pgsql",  and  "accounting_storage/slurmdbd".
              The "accounting_storage/filetxt" value indicates that accounting
              records   will   be   written  to  the  file  specified  by  the
              AccountingStorageLoc parameter.  The  "accounting_storage/mysql"
              value  indicates  that  accounting  records will be written to a
              MySQL database specified by the AccountingStorageLoc  parameter.
              The  "accounting_storage/pgsql"  value indicates that accounting
              records will be written to a PostgreSQL  database  specified  by
              the         AccountingStorageLoc         parameter.          The
              "accounting_storage/slurmdbd" value  indicates  that  accounting
              records  will  be  written  to  the  SLURM DBD, which manages an
              underlying MySQL or PostgreSQL database. See "man slurmdbd"  for
              more      information.       The      default      value      is
              "accounting_storage/none" and indicates that account records are
              not maintained.  Note: the PostgreSQL plugin is not complete and
              should not be used if wanting  to  use  associations.   It  will
              however  work  with  basic accounting of jobs and job steps.  If
              interested in completing, please email slurm-dev@lists.llnl.gov.
              Also see DefaultStorageType.

       AccountingStorageUser
              The  user account for accessing the accounting storage database.
              Only used for database type storage plugins, ignored  otherwise.
              Also see DefaultStorageUser.

       AuthType
              The  authentication  method  for  communications  between  SLURM
              components.  Acceptable values at present  include  "auth/none",
              "auth/authd",   and   "auth/munge".    The   default   value  is
              "auth/munge".    "auth/none"   includes   the   UID   in    each
              communication,  but  it  is  not verified.  This may be fine for
              testing purposes, but do not use "auth/none" if you  desire  any
              security.   "auth/authd" indicates that Brett Chun’s authd is to
              be   used   (see   "http://www.theether.org/authd/"   for   more
              information.  Note  that authd is no longer actively supported).
              "auth/munge" indicates that LLNL’s MUNGE is to be used (this  is
              the  best  supported  authentication  mechanism  for  SLURM, see
              "http://home.gna.org/munge/" for more information).   All  SLURM
              daemons  and  commands  must be terminated prior to changing the
              value of  AuthType  and  later  restarted  (SLURM  jobs  can  be
              preserved).

       BackupAddr
              The   name  that  BackupController  should  be  referred  to  in
              establishing a communications path. This name will be used as an
              argument to the gethostbyname() function for identification. For
              example, "elx0000" might  be  used  to  designate  the  Ethernet
              address  for  node  "lx0000".  By default the BackupAddr will be
              identical in value to BackupController.

       BackupController
              The name of the machine where SLURM control functions are to  be
              executed  in  the event that ControlMachine fails. This node may
              also be used as a compute server if so  desired.  It  will  come
              into   service   as  a  controller  only  upon  the  failure  of
              ControlMachine and will revert to  a  "standby"  mode  when  the
              ControlMachine  becomes  available once again.  This should be a
              node name without the full domain  name.    I.e.,  the  hostname
              returned  by  the  gethostname()  function  cut at the first dot
              (e.g. use "tux001"  rather  than  "tux001.my.com").   While  not
              essential,   it   is  recommended  that  you  specify  a  backup
              controller.  See  the  RELOCATING  CONTROLLERS  section  if  you
              change this.

       BatchStartTimeout
              The  maximum time (in seconds) that a batch job is permitted for
              launching before being  considered  missing  and  releasing  the
              allocation. The default value is 10 (seconds). Larger values may
              be required if more time is required to execute the Prolog, load
              user  environment  variables  (for Moab spawned jobs), or if the
              slurmd daemon gets paged from memory.

       CacheGroups
              If set to 1, the slurmd daemon will  cache /etc/groups  entries.
              This  can  improve  performance  for highly parallel jobs if NIS
              servers are used  and  unable  to  respond  very  quickly.   The
              default value is 0 to disable caching group data.

       CheckpointType
              The system-initiated checkpoint method to be used for user jobs.
              The  slurmctld  daemon  must  be  restarted  for  a  change   in
              CheckpointType  to  take  effect.   Supported  values  presently
              include:

              checkpoint/aix    for AIX systems only

              checkpoint/blcr   Berkeley Lab Checkpoint Restart (BLCR)

              checkpoint/none   no checkpoint support (default)

              checkpoint/ompi   OpenMPI (version 1.3 or higher)

              checkpoint/xlch   XLCH (requires that SlurmUser be root)

       ClusterName
              The name by which this SLURM managed cluster  is  known  in  the
              accounting  database.   This  is  needed  distinguish accounting
              records when multiple clusters report to the same database.

       CompleteWait
              The time, in seconds, given for a job to  remain  in  COMPLETING
              state before any additional jobs are scheduled.  If set to zero,
              pending jobs will be started  as  soon  as  possible.   Since  a
              COMPLETING job’s resources are released for use by other jobs as
              soon as the Epilog completes on each individual node,  this  can
              result in very fragmented resource allocations.  To provide jobs
              with the minimum response time, a value of zero  is  recommended
              (no  waiting).   To minimize fragmentation of resources, a value
              equal to KillWait  plus  two  is  recommended.   In  that  case,
              setting  KillWait  to  a  small  value  may  be beneficial.  The
              default value of CompleteWait is zero seconds.   The  value  may
              not exceed 65533.

       ControlAddr
              Name that ControlMachine should be referred to in establishing a
              communications path. This name will be used as  an  argument  to
              the  gethostbyname()  function  for identification. For example,
              "elx0000" might be used to designate the  Ethernet  address  for
              node  "lx0000".  By default the ControlAddr will be identical in
              value to ControlMachine.

       ControlMachine
              The short hostname of the machine where SLURM control  functions
              are  executed  (i.e.  the name returned by the command "hostname
              -s", use "tux001" rather than "tux001.my.com").  This value must
              be  specified.   In  order  to  support  some  high availability
              architectures, multiple  hostnames  may  be  listed  with  comma
              separators  and  one  ControlAddr  must  be  specified. The high
              availability system must insure that  the  slurmctld  daemon  is
              running  on  only  one  of  these  hosts  at  a  time.   See the
              RELOCATING CONTROLLERS section if you change this.

       CryptoType
              The cryptographic signature tool to be used in the  creation  of
              job  step  credentials.   The slurmctld daemon must be restarted
              for a change in CryptoType to take effect.  Acceptable values at
              present   include   "crypto/munge"  and  "crypto/openssl".   The
              default value is "crypto/munge".

       DebugFlags
              Defines specific subsystems which should provide  more  detailed
              event  logging.  Multiple subsystems can be specified with comma
              separators.  Valid subsystems  available  today  (with  more  to
              come) include:

              CPU_Bind       CPU binding details for jobs and steps

              Steps          Slurmctld resource allocation for job steps

              Triggers       Slurmctld triggers

              Wiki           Sched/wiki and wiki2 communications

       DefMemPerCPU
              Default   real  memory  size  available  per  allocated  CPU  in
              MegaBytes.  Used to avoid over-subscribing  memory  and  causing
              paging.   DefMemPerCPU  would  generally  be  used if individual
              processors are allocated to  jobs  (SelectType=select/cons_res).
              The  default value is 0 (unlimited).  Also see DefMemPerNode and
              MaxMemPerCPU.   DefMemPerCPU  and  DefMemPerNode  are   mutually
              exclusive.    NOTE:   Enforcement  of  memory  limits  currently
              requires enabling of accounting, which samples memory use  on  a
              periodic basis (data need not be stored, just collected).

       DefMemPerNode
              Default  real  memory  size  available  per  allocated  node  in
              MegaBytes.  Used to avoid over-subscribing  memory  and  causing
              paging.   DefMemPerNode  would  generally be used if whole nodes
              are allocated to jobs (SelectType=select/linear)  and  resources
              are shared (Shared=yes or Shared=force).  The default value is 0
              (unlimited).    Also   see   DefMemPerCPU   and   MaxMemPerNode.
              DefMemPerCPU  and  DefMemPerNode  are mutually exclusive.  NOTE:
              Enforcement of memory  limits  currently  requires  enabling  of
              accounting,  which  samples memory use on a periodic basis (data
              need not be stored, just collected).

       DefaultStorageHost
              The default name of the machine hosting the  accounting  storage
              and  job  completion  databases.   Only  used  for database type
              storage  plugins  and   when   the   AccountingStorageHost   and
              JobCompHost have not been defined.

       DefaultStorageLoc
              The  fully  qualified  file name where accounting records and/or
              job completion records are written when  the  DefaultStorageType
              is  "filetxt"  or  the  name  of  the  database where accounting
              records and/or  job  completion  records  are  stored  when  the
              DefaultStorageType is a database.  Also see AccountingStorageLoc
              and JobCompLoc.

       DefaultStoragePass
              The password used to gain access to the database  to  store  the
              accounting and job completion data.  Only used for database type
              storage    plugins,     ignored     otherwise.      Also     see
              AccountingStoragePass and JobCompPass.

       DefaultStoragePort
              The   listening  port  of  the  accounting  storage  and/or  job
              completion database server.  Only used for database type storage
              plugins,  ignored otherwise.  Also see AccountingStoragePort and
              JobCompPort.

       DefaultStorageType
              The  accounting  and  job  completion  storage  mechanism  type.
              Acceptable values at present include "filetxt", "mysql", "none",
              "pgsql", and "slurmdbd".  The  value  "filetxt"  indicates  that
              records  will be written to a file.  The value "mysql" indicates
              that accounting records will be written  to  a  mysql  database.
              The  default  value  is "none", which means that records are not
              maintained.  The value "pgsql" indicates that  records  will  be
              written   to   a  PostgreSQL  database.   The  value  "slurmdbd"
              indicates that records will be written to the SLURM  DBD,  which
              maintains   its  own  database.  See  "man  slurmdbd"  for  more
              information.  Also see AccountingStorageType and JobCompType.

       DefaultStorageUser
              The user account for accessing the accounting storage and/or job
              completion  database.   Only  used  for  database  type  storage
              plugins, ignored otherwise.  Also see AccountingStorageUser  and
              JobCompUser.

       DisableRootJobs
              If  set  to  "YES" then user root will be prevented from running
              any jobs.  The default value is "NO", meaning user root will  be
              able  to  execute  jobs.   DisableRootJobs  may  also  be set by
              partition.

       EnforcePartLimits
              If set to "YES" then jobs which exceed a partition’s size and/or
              time  limits will be rejected at submission time. If set to "NO"
              then the job will  be  accepted  and  remain  queued  until  the
              partition limits are altered.  The default value is "NO".

       Epilog Fully  qualified pathname of a script to execute as user root on
              every   node    when    a    user’s    job    completes    (e.g.
              "/usr/local/slurm/epilog").  This  may  be  used to purge files,
              disable user login, etc.  By default there is  no  epilog.   See
              Prolog and Epilog Scripts for more information.

       EpilogMsgTime
              The  number of microseconds the the slurmctld daemon requires to
              process an epilog completion message from  the  slurmd  dameons.
              This  parameter  can  be  used  to  prevent  a  burst  of epilog
              completion messages from being  sent  at  the  same  time  which
              should  help  prevent  lost  messages and improve throughput for
              large jobs.  The default value is 2000 microseconds.  For a 1000
              node  job,  this spreads the epilog completion messages out over
              two seconds.

       EpilogSlurmctld
              Fully qualified pathname of  a  program  for  the  slurmctld  to
              execute   upon   termination   of   a   job   allocation   (e.g.
              "/usr/local/slurm/epilog_controller").  The program executes  as
              SlurmUser,  which gives it permission to drain nodes and requeue
              the job if a failure occurs or cancel the  job  if  appropriate.
              The program can be used to reboot nodes or perform other work to
              prepare resources for use.  See Prolog and  Epilog  Scripts  for
              more information.

       FastSchedule
              Controls how a node’s configuration specifications in slurm.conf
              are used.  If the number of node configuration  entries  in  the
              configuration  file  is  significantly  lower than the number of
              nodes,  setting  FastSchedule  to  1  will  permit  much  faster
              scheduling  decisions to be made.  (The scheduler can just check
              the values in a few configuration records  instead  of  possibly
              thousands   of   node  records.)   Note  that  on  systems  with
              hyper-threading, the processor count reported by the  node  will
              be  twice  the actual processor count.  Consider which value you
              want to be used for scheduling purposes.

              1 (default)
                   Consider  the  configuration  of  each  node  to  be   that
                   specified in the slurm.conf configuration file and any node
                   with less than the configured resources will be set DOWN.

              0    Base scheduling decisions upon the actual configuration  of
                   each individual node except that the node’s processor count
                   in SLURM’s configuration must  match  the  actual  hardware
                   configuration      if      SchedulerType=sched/gang      or
                   SelectType=select/cons_res are configured  (both  of  those
                   plugins  maintain  resource  allocation  information  using
                   bitmaps for the cores in the system and must remain static,
                   while  the  node’s memory and disk space can be established
                   later).

              2    Consider  the  configuration  of  each  node  to  be   that
                   specified in the slurm.conf configuration file and any node
                   with less than the configured resources  will  not  be  set
                   DOWN.  This can be useful for testing purposes.

       FirstJobId
              The job id to be used for the first submitted to SLURM without a
              specific  requested  value.  Job  id   values   generated   will
              incremented  by  1  for each subsequent job. This may be used to
              provide a meta-scheduler with a job id space which  is  disjoint
              from the interactive jobs.  The default value is 1.

       GetEnvTimeout
              Used  for Moab scheduled jobs only. Controls how long job should
              wait in  seconds  for  loading  the  user’s  environment  before
              attempting  to  load it from a cache file. Applies when the srun
              or sbatch --get-user-env option is used. If set to 0 then always
              load  the  user’s  environment from the cache file.  The default
              value is 2 seconds.

       HealthCheckInterval
              The    interval    in    seconds    between    executions     of
              HealthCheckProgram.   The  default value is zero, which disables
              execution.

       HealthCheckProgram
              Fully qualified pathname of a script to  execute  as  user  root
              periodically  on  all  compute  nodes  that  are not in the DOWN
              state. This may be used to verify the node is fully  operational
              and  DRAIN the node or send email if a problem is detected.  Any
              action to be taken must be explicitly performed by  the  program
              (e.g.   execute   "scontrol   update   NodeName=foo  State=drain
              Reason=tmp_file_system_full" to drain a node).  The interval  is
              controlled  using  the HealthCheckInterval parameter.  Note that
              the HealthCheckProgram will be executed at the same time on  all
              nodes  to  minimize  its  impact  upon  parallel programs.  This
              program is will be killed if  it  does  not  terminate  normally
              within 60 seconds.  By default, no program will be executed.

       InactiveLimit
              The  interval,  in seconds, a job or job step is permitted to be
              inactive  before  it  is  terminated.  A  job  or  job  step  is
              considered  inactive  if  the  associated  srun  command  is not
              responding  to  slurm  daemons.  This  could  be  due   to   the
              termination  of  the  srun  command  or  the  program being is a
              stopped state. A batch job is considered inactive if it  has  no
              active  job  steps  (e.g.  periods of pre- and post-processing).
              This limit permits defunct jobs to be purged in a timely fashion
              without  waiting for their time limit to be reached.  This value
              should reflect the possibility that the srun command may stopped
              by  a  debugger or considerable time could be required for batch
              job pre- and post-processing.  This limit is  ignored  for  jobs
              running  in partitions with the RootOnly flag set (the scheduler
              running as root will be responsible for the job).   The  default
              value is unlimited (zero).  May not exceed 65533.

       JobAcctGatherType
              The job accounting mechanism type.  Acceptable values at present
              include  "jobacct_gather/aix"  (for   AIX   operating   system),
              "jobacct_gather/linux"   (for   Linux   operating   system)  and
              "jobacct_gather/none"  (no  accounting  data  collected).    The
              default  value  is  "jobacct_gather/none".   In order to use the
              sacct tool, "jobacct_gather/aix" or "jobacct_gather/linux"  must
              be configured.

       JobAcctGatherFrequency
              The  job  accounting sampling interval.  For jobacct_gather/none
              this  parameter  is  ignored.    For    jobacct_gather/aix   and
              jobacct_gather/linux  the  parameter  is  a  number  is  seconds
              between sampling job state.  The default value is 30 seconds.  A
              value  of  zero  disables  real  the  periodic  job sampling and
              provides  accounting  information  only   on   job   termination
              (reducing  SLURM interference with the job).  Smaller (non-zero)
              values have a greater impact upon job performance, but  a  value
              of  30  seconds  is not likely to be noticeable for applications
              having less than 10,000 tasks.  Users can override this value on
              a  per  job  basis using the --acctg-freq option when submitting
              the job.

       JobCheckpointDir
              Specifies the default  directory  for  storing  or  reading  job
              checkpoint  information.  The  data  stored  here  is only a few
              thousand bytes  per  job  and  includes  information  needed  to
              resubmit  the job request, not job’s memory image. The directory
              must be readable and writable by SlurmUser, but not writable  by
              regular  users.  The  job  memory  images  may be in a different
              location as specified by --checkpoint-dir option at  job  submit
              time or scontrol’s ImageDir option.

       JobCompHost
              The  name  of  the  machine hosting the job completion database.
              Only used for database type storage plugins, ignored  otherwise.
              Also see DefaultStorageHost.

       JobCompLoc
              The  fully  qualified file name where job completion records are
              written  when  the  JobCompType  is  "jobcomp/filetxt"  or   the
              database  where  job  completion  records  are  stored  when the
              JobCompType is a database.  Also see DefaultStorageLoc.

       JobCompPass
              The password used to gain access to the database  to  store  the
              job  completion  data.   Only  used  for  database  type storage
              plugins, ignored otherwise.  Also see DefaultStoragePass.

       JobCompPort
              The listening port of the job completion database server.   Only
              used for database type storage plugins, ignored otherwise.  Also
              see DefaultStoragePort.

       JobCompType
              The job completion logging mechanism type.  Acceptable values at
              present      include      "jobcomp/none",     "jobcomp/filetxt",
              "jobcomp/mysql", "jobcomp/pgsql",  and  "jobcomp/script"".   The
              default  value  is  "jobcomp/none",  which  means  that upon job
              completion the record of the job is purged from the system.   If
              using  the  accounting  infrastructure this plugin may not be of
              interest since the information here  is  redundant.   The  value
              "jobcomp/filetxt"  indicates  that a record of the job should be
              written to a text file specified by  the  JobCompLoc  parameter.
              The  value  "jobcomp/mysql"  indicates  that a record of the job
              should  be  written  to  a  mysql  database  specified  by   the
              JobCompLoc  parameter.  The value "jobcomp/pgsql" indicates that
              a record of the job should be written to a  PostgreSQL  database
              specified    by    the    JobCompLoc   parameter.    The   value
              "jobcomp/script"  indicates  that  a  script  specified  by  the
              JobCompLoc   parameter   is  to  be  executed  with  environment
              variables indicating the job information.

       JobCompUser
              The user account for  accessing  the  job  completion  database.
              Only  used for database type storage plugins, ignored otherwise.
              Also see DefaultStorageUser.

       JobCredentialPrivateKey
              Fully qualified pathname of a file containing a private key used
              for  authentication by SLURM daemons.  This parameter is ignored
              if CryptoType=crypto/munge.

       JobCredentialPublicCertificate
              Fully qualified pathname of a file containing a public key  used
              for  authentication by SLURM daemons.  This parameter is ignored
              if CryptoType=crypto/munge.

       JobFileAppend
              This option controls what to do if a job’s output or error  file
              exist  when  the  job  is started.  If JobFileAppend is set to a
              value of 1, then append to the existing file.  By  default,  any
              existing file is truncated.

       JobRequeue
              This option controls what to do by default after a node failure.
              If JobRequeue is set to a value of 1, then any  job  running  on
              the  failed  node  will  be  requeued for execution on different
              nodes.  If JobRequeue is set to a  value  of  0,  then  any  job
              running  on  the failed node will be terminated.  Use the sbatch
              --no-requeue or --requeue option to change the default  behavior
              for individual jobs.  The default value is 1.

       KillOnBadExit
              If  set to 1, the job will be terminated immediately when one of
              the processes is crashed or aborted. With default value of 0, if
              one  of  the processes is crashed or aborted the other processes
              will continue to run.

       KillWait
              The interval, in seconds, given to a job’s processes between the
              SIGTERM  and  SIGKILL  signals upon reaching its time limit.  If
              the job fails to terminate gracefully in the interval specified,
              it  will  be  forcibly  terminated.   The  default  value  is 30
              seconds.  The value may not exceed 65533.

       Licenses
              Specification of licenses (or other resources available  on  all
              nodes  of  the cluster) which can be allocated to jobs.  License
              names can optionally be followed by an asterisk and count with a
              default  count  of  one.  Multiple license names should be comma
              separated  (e.g.   "Licenses=foo*4,bar").    Note   that   SLURM
              prevents  jobs  from  being  scheduled if their required license
              specification is not available.  SLURM  does  not  prevent  jobs
              from  using  licenses  that are not explicitly listed in the job
              submission specification.

       MailProg
              Fully qualified pathname to the program used to send  email  per
              user request.  The default value is "/bin/mail".

       MaxJobCount
              The maximum number of jobs SLURM can have in its active database
              at one time. Set the values  of  MaxJobCount  and  MinJobAge  to
              insure the slurmctld daemon does not exhaust its memory or other
              resources. Once  this  limit  is  reached,  requests  to  submit
              additional  jobs will fail. The default value is 5000 jobs. This
              value may not be reset via "scontrol reconfig".  It  only  takes
              effect  upon  restart  of  the slurmctld daemon.  May not exceed
              65533.

       MaxMemPerCPU
              Maximum  real  memory  size  available  per  allocated  CPU   in
              MegaBytes.   Used  to  avoid over-subscribing memory and causing
              paging.  MaxMemPerCPU would  generally  be  used  if  individual
              processors  are  allocated to jobs (SelectType=select/cons_res).
              The default value is 0 (unlimited).  Also see  DefMemPerCPU  and
              MaxMemPerNode.   MaxMemPerCPU  and  MaxMemPerNode  are  mutually
              exclusive.   NOTE:  Enforcement  of  memory   limits   currently
              requires  enabling  of accounting, which samples memory use on a
              periodic basis (data need not be stored, just collected).

       MaxMemPerNode
              Maximum  real  memory  size  available  per  allocated  node  in
              MegaBytes.   Used  to  avoid over-subscribing memory and causing
              paging.  MaxMemPerNode would generally be used  if  whole  nodes
              are  allocated  to jobs (SelectType=select/linear) and resources
              are shared (Shared=yes or Shared=force).  The default value is 0
              (unlimited).    Also   see   DefMemPerNode   and   MaxMemPerCPU.
              MaxMemPerCPU and MaxMemPerNode are  mutually  exclusive.   NOTE:
              Enforcement  of  memory  limits  currently  requires enabling of
              accounting, which samples memory use on a periodic  basis  (data
              need not be stored, just collected).

       MaxTasksPerNode
              Maximum  number of tasks SLURM will allow a job step to spawn on
              a single node. The default MaxTasksPerNode is 128.

       MessageTimeout
              Time permitted for a round-trip  communication  to  complete  in
              seconds.  Default  value  is 10 seconds. For systems with shared
              nodes, the slurmd daemon could  be  paged  out  and  necessitate
              higher values.

       MinJobAge
              The  minimum  age of a completed job before its record is purged
              from SLURM’s active database. Set the values of MaxJobCount  and
              MinJobAge  to  insure  the slurmctld daemon does not exhaust its
              memory or other resources. The default value is 300 seconds.   A
              value  of  zero prevents any job record purging.  May not exceed
              65533.

       MpiDefault
              Identifies the default  type  of  MPI  to  be  used.   Srun  may
              override  this  configuration  parameter in any case.  Currently
              supported versions include:  mpichgm,  mvapich,  none  (default,
              which works for many other versions of MPI including LAM MPI and
              Open MPI).

       MpiParams
              MPI parameters.  Used to identify ports used by OpenMPI only and
              the  input  format is "ports=12000-12999" to identify a range of
              communication ports to be used.

       OverTimeLimit
              Number of minutes by which a  job  can  exceed  its  time  limit
              before being canceled.  The configured job time limit is treated
              as a  soft  limit.   Adding  OverTimeLimit  to  the  soft  limit
              provides a hard limit, at which point the job is canceled.  This
              is particularly useful for backfill scheduling, which bases upon
              each job’s soft time limit.  The default value is zero.  Man not
              exceed exceed 65533 minutes.  A value  of  "UNLIMITED"  is  also
              supported.

       PluginDir
              Identifies  the places in which to look for SLURM plugins.  This
              is  a  colon-separated  list  of  directories,  like  the   PATH
              environment      variable.      The     default     value     is
              "/usr/local/lib/slurm".

       PlugStackConfig
              Location of the config file for SLURM stackable plugins that use
              the  Stackable  Plugin  Architecture  for  Node  job  (K)control
              (SPANK).  This provides support for a highly configurable set of
              plugins  to be called before and/or after execution of each task
              spawned as part of a  user’s  job  step.   Default  location  is
              "plugstack.conf" in the same directory as the system slurm.conf.
              For more information on SPANK plugins, see the spank(8)  manual.

       PreemptMode
              Enables  gang  scheduling  and/or controls the mechanism used to
              preempt jobs.  When the PreemptType parameter is set  to  enable
              preemption,  the  PreemptMode  selects  the  mechanism  used  to
              preempt the lower priority jobs.  The GANG  option  is  used  to
              enable  gang  scheduling  independent  of  whether preemption is
              enabled (the PreemptType  setting).   The  GANG  option  can  be
              specified  in  addition  to  a  PreemptMode setting with the two
              options comma separated.  The SUSPEND option requires that  gang
              scheduling be enabled (i.e, "PreemptMode=SUSPEND,GANG").

              OFF         is the default value and disables job preemption and
                          gang scheduling.  This is the only option compatible
                          with           SchedulerType=sched/wiki           or
                          SchedulerType=sched/wiki2 (used  by  Maui  and  Moab
                          respectively, which provide their own job preemption
                          functionality).

              CANCEL      always cancel the job.

              CHECKPOINT  preempts jobs by checkpointing them (if possible) or
                          canceling them.

              GANG        enables  gang  scheduling  (time slicing) of jobs in
                          the same partition.

              REQUEUE     preempts jobs by requeuing  them  (if  possible)  or
                          canceling them.

              SUSPEND     preempts  jobs  by suspending them.  A suspended job
                          will resume execution once  the  high  priority  job
                          preempting  it  completes.   The SUSPEND may only be
                          used with the GANG option (the gang scheduler module
                          performs the job resume operation).

       PreemptType
              This  specifies  the  plugin  used to identify which jobs can be
              preempted in order to start a pending job.

              preempt/none
                     Job preemption is disabled.  This is the default.

              preempt/partition_prio
                     Job preemption is based upon partition priority.  Jobs in
                     higher priority partitions (queues) may preempt jobs from
                     lower priority partitions.

              preempt/qos
                     Job preemption rules are specified by Quality Of  Service
                     (QOS)  specifications  in  the SLURM database a database.
                     This  is   not   compatible   with   PreemptMode=OFF   or
                     PreemptMode=SUSPEND  (i.e. preempted jobs must be removed
                     from the resources).

       PriorityDecayHalfLife
              This controls how long  prior  resource  use  is  considered  in
              determining how over- or under-serviced an association is (user,
              bank account and cluster) in determining job priority.   If  set
              to  0  no decay will be applied.  This is helpful if you want to
              enforce  hard  time  limits  per  association.   If  set  to   0
              PriorityUsageResetPeriod   must   be   set   to  some  interval.
              Applicable only if PriorityType=priority/multifactor.  The  unit
              is  a  time  string  (i.e.  min,  hr:min:00,  days-hr:min:00, or
              days-hr).  The default value is 7-0 (7 days).

       PriorityCalcPeriod
              The period of time in minutes in which the half-life decay  will
              be        re-calculated.         Applicable        only       if
              PriorityType=priority/multifactor.   The  default  value  is   5
              (minutes).

       PriorityFavorSmall

              Specifies   that   small   jobs  should  be  given  preferencial
              scheduling       priority.        Applicable       only       if
              PriorityType=priority/multifactor.   Supported  values are "YES"
              and "NO".  The default value is "NO".

       PriorityMaxAge
              Specifies the job age which will be given the maximum age factor
              in  computing priority. For example, a value of 30 minutes would
              result in all jobs over  30  minutes  old  would  get  the  same
              age-based        priority.        Applicable       only       if
              PriorityType=priority/multifactor.  The unit is  a  time  string
              (i.e.  min, hr:min:00, days-hr:min:00, or days-hr).  The default
              value is 7-0 (7 days).

       PriorityUsageResetPeriod
              At this interval the usage of associations will be reset  to  0.
              This  is  used  if you want to enforce hard limits of time usage
              per association.  If PriorityDecayHalfLife is set  to  be  0  no
              decay  will  happen  and this is the only way to reset the usage
              accumulated by running jobs.  By default this is turned off  and
              it  is  advised to use the PriorityDecayHalfLife option to avoid
              not having anything running on your cluster, but if your  schema
              is  set  up to only allow certain amounts of time on your system
              this   is   the   way   to   do   it.    Applicable   only    if
              PriorityType=priority/multifactor.

              NONE        Never clear historic usage. The default value.

              NOW         Clear  the  historic usage now.  Executed at startup
                          and reconfiguration time.

              DAILY       Cleared every day at midnight.

              WEEKLY      Cleared every week on Sunday at time 00:00.

              MONTHLY     Cleared on the first  day  of  each  month  at  time
                          00:00.

              QUARTERLY   Cleared  on  the  first  day of each quarter at time
                          00:00.

              YEARLY      Cleared on the first day of each year at time 00:00.

       PriorityType
              This  specifies  the  plugin  to be used in establishing a job’s
              scheduling priority. Supported values are "priority/basic" (jobs
              are   prioritized   by  order  of  arrival,  also  suitable  for
              sched/wiki and sched/wiki2) and "priority/multifactor" (jobs are
              prioritized  based  upon  size,  age,  fair-share of allocation,
              etc).  The default value is "priority/basic".

       PriorityWeightAge
              An integer value that sets the degree to which  the  queue  wait
              time  component  contributes  to the job’s priority.  Applicable
              only if PriorityType=priority/multifactor.  The default value is
              0.

       PriorityWeightFairshare
              An  integer  value  that sets the degree to which the fair-share
              component contributes to the job’s priority.  Applicable only if
              PriorityType=priority/multifactor.  The default value is 0.

       PriorityWeightJobSize
              An  integer  value  that  sets  the degree to which the job size
              component contributes to the job’s priority.  Applicable only if
              PriorityType=priority/multifactor.  The default value is 0.

       PriorityWeightPartition
              An  integer  value  that  sets  the  degree  to  which  the node
              partition  component  contributes   to   the   job’s   priority.
              Applicable   only   if  PriorityType=priority/multifactor.   The
              default value is 0.

       PriorityWeightQOS
              An integer value that sets the degree to which  the  Quality  Of
              Service component contributes to the job’s priority.  Applicable
              only if PriorityType=priority/multifactor.  The default value is
              0.

       PrivateData
              This  controls  what  type of information is hidden from regular
              users.  By default, all information is  visible  to  all  users.
              User  SlurmUser  and  root  can  always  view  all  information.
              Multiple  values  may  be  specified  with  a  comma  separator.
              Acceptable values include:

              accounts
                     (NON-SLURMDBD   ACCOUNTING   ONLY)  prevents  users  from
                     viewing  any  account   definitions   unless   they   are
                     coordinators of them.

              jobs   prevents  users  from viewing jobs or job steps belonging
                     to other users. (NON-SLURMDBD ACCOUNTING  ONLY)  prevents
                     users  from  viewing job records belonging to other users
                     unless they are coordinators of the  association  running
                     the job when using sacct.

              nodes  prevents users from viewing node state information.

              partitions
                     prevents  users from viewing partition state information.

              reservations
                     prevents regular users from viewing reservations.

              usage  (NON-SLURMDBD  ACCOUNTING  ONLY)  prevents   users   from
                     viewing  usage  of  any  other  user.   This  applies  to
                     sreport.

              users  (NON-SLURMDBD  ACCOUNTING  ONLY)  prevents   users   from
                     viewing  information  of  any user other than themselves,
                     this also makes it so users  can  only  see  associations
                     they deal with.  Coordinators can see associations of all
                     users  they  are  coordinator  of,  but  can   only   see
                     themselves when listing users.

       ProctrackType
              Identifies  the  plugin  to  be  used for process tracking.  The
              slurmd daemon uses this  mechanism  to  identify  all  processes
              which  are  children of processes it spawns for a user job.  The
              slurmd daemon must be restarted for a change in ProctrackType to
              take  effect.   NOTE: "proctrack/linuxproc" and "proctrack/pgid"
              can fail to identify all processes associated with a  job  since
              processes  can  become  a  child  of  the init process (when the
              parent process terminates) or change their  process  group.   To
              reliably  track  all  processes,  one  of  the  other mechanisms
              utilizing   kernel   modifications   is    preferable.     NOTE:
              "proctrack/linuxproc"  is  not  compatible  with  "switch/elan."
              Acceptable values at present include:

              proctrack/aix which uses an AIX kernel extension and is
                     the default for AIX systems

              proctrack/linuxproc which uses linux process tree using
                     parent process IDs

              proctrack/rms which uses Quadrics kernel patch and is the
                     default if "SwitchType=switch/elan"

              proctrack/sgi_job which uses SGI’s Process Aggregates (PAGG)
                     kernel module, see http://oss.sgi.com/projects/pagg/  for
                     more information

              proctrack/pgid which uses process group IDs and is the
                     default for all other systems

       Prolog Fully  qualified pathname of a program for the slurmd to execute
              whenever it is asked to run a job step from a new job allocation
              (e.g.   "/usr/local/slurm/prolog").   The  slurmd  executes  the
              script before starting the first job step.  This may be used  to
              purge  files,  enable  user  login, etc.  By default there is no
              prolog. Any configured script is expected to complete  execution
              quickly  (in  less  time  than  MessageTimeout).  See Prolog and
              Epilog Scripts for more information.

       PrologSlurmctld
              Fully qualified pathname of  a  program  for  the  slurmctld  to
              execute   before   granting   a   new   job   allocation   (e.g.
              "/usr/local/slurm/prolog_controller").  The program executes  as
              SlurmUser,  which gives it permission to drain nodes and requeue
              the job if a failure occurs or cancel the  job  if  appropriate.
              The program can be used to reboot nodes or perform other work to
              prepare resources for use.  While this program is  running,  the
              nodes    associated    with    the    job   will   be   have   a
              POWER_UP/CONFIGURING flag set  in  their  state,  which  can  be
              readily  viewed.   A  non-zero  exit code will result in the job
              being requeued (where  possible)  or  killed.   See  Prolog  and
              Epilog Scripts for more information.

       PropagatePrioProcess
              Setting  PropagatePrioProcess  to "1", will cause a users job to
              run with the same priority (aka nice value) as the users process
              which  launched  the  job on the submit node.  If set to "0", or
              left unset, the users job will inherit the  scheduling  priority
              from the slurm daemon.

       PropagateResourceLimits
              A  list  of  comma  separated  resource limit names.  The slurmd
              daemon uses these names to obtain the  associated  (soft)  limit
              values  from  the  users process environment on the submit node.
              These limits are then propagated and applied to  the  jobs  that
              will  run  on  the  compute nodes.  This parameter can be useful
              when system limits vary among nodes.  Any resource  limits  that
              do not appear in the list are not propagated.  However, the user
              can  override  this  by  specifying  which  resource  limits  to
              propagate  with  the  srun  commands  "--propagate"  option.  If
              neither  of  the  ’propagate  resource  limit’  parameters   are
              specified,  then  the default action is to propagate all limits.
              Only one of the parameters,  either  PropagateResourceLimits  or
              PropagateResourceLimitsExcept,  may be specified.  The following
              limit names are supported by SLURM (although  some  options  may
              not be supported on some systems):

              ALL       All limits listed below

              NONE      No limits listed below

              AS        The maximum address space for a processes

              CORE      The maximum size of core file

              CPU       The maximum amount of CPU time

              DATA      The maximum size of a process’s data segment

              FSIZE     The maximum size of files created

              MEMLOCK   The maximum size that may be locked into memory

              NOFILE    The maximum number of open files

              NPROC     The maximum number of processes available

              RSS       The maximum resident set size

              STACK     The maximum stack size

       PropagateResourceLimitsExcept
              A list of comma separated resource limit names.  By default, all
              resource  limits  will  be  propagated,  (as  described  by  the
              PropagateResourceLimits   parameter),   except  for  the  limits
              appearing  in  this  list.    The  user  can  override  this  by
              specifying  which  resource  limits  to  propagate with the srun
              commands  "--propagate"  option.   See   PropagateResourceLimits
              above for a list of valid limit names.

       ResumeProgram
              SLURM  supports a mechanism to reduce power consumption on nodes
              that remain idle for  an  extended  period  of  time.   This  is
              typically  accomplished  by  reducing  voltage  and frequency or
              powering the node down.  ResumeProgram is the program that  will
              be  executed  when a node in power save mode is assigned work to
              perform.  For reasons of reliability, ResumeProgram may  execute
              more  than once for a node when the slurmctld daemon crashes and
              is restarted.  If ResumeProgram is unable to restore a  node  to
              service, it should requeue any node associated with the node and
              set the node state to DRAIN.  The program executes as SlurmUser.
              The  argument  to  the  program will be the names of nodes to be
              removed  from  power  savings  mode  (using   SLURM’s   hostlist
              expression  format).   By  default  no  program is run.  Related
              configuration   options   include   ResumeTimeout,   ResumeRate,
              SuspendRate,    SuspendTime,   SuspendTimeout,   SuspendProgram,
              SuspendExcNodes,  and  SuspendExcParts.   More  information   is
              available        at        the        SLURM       web       site
              (https://computing.llnl.gov/linux/slurm/power_save.html).

       ResumeRate
              The rate at which nodes in  power  save  mode  are  returned  to
              normal operation by ResumeProgram.  The value is number of nodes
              per minute and it can be used to prevent power surges if a large
              number of nodes in power save mode are assigned work at the same
              time (e.g. a large job starts).  A value of zero results  in  no
              limits  being  imposed.   The  default  value  is  300 nodes per
              minute.  Related configuration  options  include  ResumeTimeout,
              ResumeProgram,    SuspendRate,    SuspendTime,   SuspendTimeout,
              SuspendProgram, SuspendExcNodes, and SuspendExcParts.

       ResumeTimeout
              Maximum time permitted (in second) between when a node is resume
              request  is  issued  and when the node is actually available for
              use.  Nodes which fail to respond in  this  time  frame  may  be
              marked  DOWN  and  the jobs scheduled on the node requeued.  The
              default value is  60  seconds.   Related  configuration  options
              include  ResumeProgram,  ResumeRate,  SuspendRate,  SuspendTime,
              SuspendTimeout,     SuspendProgram,     SuspendExcNodes      and
              SuspendExcParts.  More information is available at the SLURM web
              site (https://computing.llnl.gov/linux/slurm/power_save.html).

       ResvOverRun
              Describes how long a job already running in a reservation should
              be  permitted  to  execute after the end time of the reservation
              has been reached.  The time period is specified in  minutes  and
              the  default  value  is 0 (kill the job immediately).  The value
              may not exceed 65533 minutes, although a value of "UNLIMITED" is
              supported  to  permit  a  job  to  run  indefinitely  after  its
              reservation is terminated.

       ReturnToService
              Controls when a DOWN node will  be  returned  to  service.   The
              default value is 0.  Supported values include

              0   A  node  will  remain  in  the  DOWN  state  until  a system
                  administrator explicitly changes  its  state  (even  if  the
                  slurmd daemon registers and resumes communications).

              1   A  DOWN node will become available for use upon registration
                  with a valid configuration only if it was set  DOWN  due  to
                  being  non-responsive.   If  the  node  was set DOWN for any
                  other reason (low memory, prolog  failure,  epilog  failure,
                  silently  rebooting, etc.), its state will not automatically
                  be changed.

              2   A DOWN node will become available for use upon  registration
                  with  a  valid  configuration.  The node could have been set
                  DOWN for any reason.

       SallocDefaultCommand
              Normally, salloc(1) will run the user’s  default  shell  when  a
              command  to execute is not specified on the salloc command line.
              If SallocDefaultCommand is specified, salloc  will  instead  run
              the  configured  command. The command is passed to ’/bin/sh -c’,
              so shell metacharacters are allowed, and commands with  multiple
              arguments should be quoted. For instance:

                  SallocDefaultCommand = "$SHELL"

              would  run  the shell in the user’s $SHELL environment variable.
              and

                  SallocDefaultCommand = "xterm -T Job_$SLURM_JOB_ID"

              would run xterm with the title set to the SLURM jobid.

       SchedulerParameters
              The interpretation of this parameter  varies  by  SchedulerType.
              Multiple  options may be comma separated.  The following options
              apply only to SchedulerType=sched/backfill.

              interval=#
                     The number of seconds between iterations.  Higher  values
                     result  in less overhead and responsiveness.  The default
                     value is 5 seconds on BlueGene  systems  and  10  seconds
                     otherwise.

              max_job_bf=#
                     The maximum number of jobs to attempt backfill scheduling
                     for (i.e. the queue depth).  Higher values result in more
                     overhead  and  less  responsiveness.  Until an attempt is
                     made to backfill schedule a job, its expected  initiation
                     time value will not be set.  The default value is 50.  In
                     the  case  of  large  clusters  (more  than  1000  nodes)
                     configured  with  SelectType=select/cons_res,  setting  a
                     smaller value may be desirable.

       SchedulerPort
              The port number on which slurmctld should listen for  connection
              requests.   This  value  is only used by the Maui Scheduler (see
              SchedulerType).  The default value is 7321.

       SchedulerRootFilter
              Identifies whether or not RootOnly partitions should be filtered
              from  any  external  scheduling  activities.  If  set to 0, then
              RootOnly partitions are treated like any other partition. If set
              to  1,  then  RootOnly  partitions  are exempt from any external
              scheduling activities. The default value is  1.  Currently  only
              used by the built-in backfill scheduling module "sched/backfill"
              (see SchedulerType).

       SchedulerTimeSlice
              Number    of    seconds    in    each    time     slice     when
              SchedulerType=sched/gang.  The default value is 30 seconds.

       SchedulerType
              Identifies the type of scheduler to be used.  Note the slurmctld
              daemon must be restarted for  a  change  in  scheduler  type  to
              become  effective  (reconfiguring a running daemon has no effect
              for this parameter).   The  scontrol  command  can  be  used  to
              manually  change  job  priorities if desired.  Acceptable values
              include:

              sched/builtin
                     for the built-in FIFO (First  In  First  Out)  scheduler.
                     This is the default.

              sched/backfill
                     for  a  backfill scheduling module to augment the default
                     FIFO  scheduling.   Backfill  scheduling  will   initiate
                     lower-priority  jobs  if  doing  so  does  not  delay the
                     expected initiation time  of  any  higher  priority  job.
                     Effectiveness  of  backfill  scheduling is dependent upon
                     users specifying job time limits, otherwise all jobs will
                     have  the  same time limit and backfilling is impossible.
                     Note documentation  for  the  SchedulerParameters  option
                     above.

              sched/gang
                     Defunct  option. See PreemptType and PreemptMode options.

              sched/hold
                     to   hold   all   newly   arriving   jobs   if   a   file
                     "/etc/slurm.hold"  exists otherwise use the built-in FIFO
                     scheduler

              sched/wiki
                     for the Wiki interface to the Maui Scheduler

              sched/wiki2
                     for the Wiki interface to the Moab Cluster Suite

       SelectType
              Identifies the type of resource selection algorithm to be  used.
              Acceptable values include

              select/linear
                     for allocation of entire nodes assuming a one-dimensional
                     array of nodes in which sequentially  ordered  nodes  are
                     preferable.   This  is the default value for non-BlueGene
                     systems.

              select/cons_res
                     The resources within a node are individually allocated as
                     consumable  resources.   Note  that  whole  nodes  can be
                     allocated to jobs for selected partitions  by  using  the
                     Shared=Exclusive   option.    See  the  partition  Shared
                     parameter for more information.

              select/bluegene
                     for a three-dimensional  BlueGene  system.   The  default
                     value is "select/bluegene" for BlueGene systems.

       SelectTypeParameters
              The  permitted  values  of  SelectTypeParameters depend upon the
              configured  value  of  SelectType.    SelectType=select/bluegene
              supports no SelectTypeParameters.  The only supported option for
              SelectType=select/linear is CR_Memory, which treats memory as  a
              consumable  resource  and prevents memory over subscription with
              job preemption or gang scheduling.   The  following  values  are
              supported for SelectType=select/cons_res:

              CR_CPU CPUs  are  consumable  resources.   There is no notion of
                     sockets, cores or threads; do not define those values  in
                     the node specification.  If these are defined, unexpected
                     results  will  happen  when  hyper-threading  is  enabled
                     Procs=  should  be used instead.  On a multi-core system,
                     each core will be considered a CPU.  On a multi-core  and
                     hyper-threaded  system,  each thread will be considered a
                     CPU.   On  single-core  systems,  each   CPUs   will   be
                     considered a CPU.

              CR_CPU_Memory
                     CPUs  and  memory  are consumable resources.  There is no
                     notion of sockets, cores or threads; do not define  those
                     values  in the node specification.  If these are defined,
                     unexpected results will happen  when  hyper-threading  is
                     enabled  Procs=  should be used instead.  Setting a value
                     for DefMemPerCPU is strongly recommended.

              CR_Core
                     Cores  are   consumable   resources.    On   nodes   with
                     hyper-threads, each thread is counted as a CPU to satisfy
                     a job’s resource requirement, but multiple jobs  are  not
                     allocated threads on the same core.

              CR_Core_Memory
                     Cores and memory are consumable resources.  On nodes with
                     hyper-threads, each thread is counted as a CPU to satisfy
                     a  job’s  resource requirement, but multiple jobs are not
                     allocated threads on the same core.  Setting a value  for
                     DefMemPerCPU is strongly recommended.

              CR_Socket
                     Sockets are consumable resources.  On nodes with multiple
                     cores, each core or thread is counted as a CPU to satisfy
                     a  job’s  resource requirement, but multiple jobs are not
                     allocated resources on the same socket.  Note  that  jobs
                     requesting  one CPU will only be given access to that one
                     CPU, but no other job will share the socket.

              CR_Socket_Memory
                     Memory and sockets are consumable  resources.   On  nodes
                     with  multiple cores, each core or thread is counted as a
                     CPU to satisfy a job’s resource requirement, but multiple
                     jobs  are  not  allocated  resources  on the same socket.
                     Note that jobs requesting one  CPU  will  only  be  given
                     access  to  that one CPU, but no other job will share the
                     socket.  Setting a value  for  DefMemPerCPU  is  strongly
                     recommended.

              CR_Memory
                     Memory  is  a  consumable  resource.   NOTE: This implies
                     Shared=YES or Shared=FORCE for all partitions.  Setting a
                     value for DefMemPerCPU is strongly recommended.

       SlurmUser
              The name of the user that the slurmctld daemon executes as.  For
              security purposes, a user  other  than  "root"  is  recommended.
              This   user   must  exist  on  all  nodes  of  the  cluster  for
              authentication of communications between SLURM components.   The
              default value is "root".

       SlurmdUser
              The  name  of the user that the slurmd daemon executes as.  This
              user must exist on all nodes of the cluster  for  authentication
              of  communications  between SLURM components.  The default value
              is "root".

       SlurmctldDebug
              The level of detail to provide slurmctld daemon’s logs.   Values
              from  0 to 9 are legal, with ‘0’ being "quiet" operation and ‘9’
              being insanely verbose.  The default value is 3.

       SlurmctldLogFile
              Fully qualified pathname of a  file  into  which  the  slurmctld
              daemon’s  logs are written.  The default value is none (performs
              logging via syslog).

       SlurmctldPidFile
              Fully qualified pathname of a file  into  which  the   slurmctld
              daemon  may write its process id. This may be used for automated
              signal     processing.       The      default      value      is
              "/var/run/slurmctld.pid".

       SlurmctldPort
              The port number that the SLURM controller, slurmctld, listens to
              for work. The default value is SLURMCTLD_PORT as established  at
              system  build  time. If none is explicitly specified, it will be
              set to 6817.  NOTE: Either slurmctld and slurmd daemons must not
              execute  on  the  same  nodes or the values of SlurmctldPort and
              SlurmdPort must be different.

       SlurmctldTimeout
              The interval, in seconds, that the backup controller  waits  for
              the  primary controller to respond before assuming control.  The
              default value is 120 seconds.  May not exceed 65533.

       SlurmdDebug
              The level of detail to provide  slurmd  daemon’s  logs.   Values
              from  0 to 9 are legal, with ‘0’ being "quiet" operation and ‘9’
              being insanely verbose.  The default value is 3.

       SlurmdLogFile
              Fully qualified pathname  of  a  file  into  which  the   slurmd
              daemon’s  logs are written.  The default value is none (performs
              logging via syslog).  Any "%h" within the name is replaced  with
              the hostname on which the slurmd is running.

       SlurmdPidFile
              Fully qualified pathname of a file into which the  slurmd daemon
              may write its process id. This may be used for automated  signal
              processing.  The default value is "/var/run/slurmd.pid".

       SlurmdPort
              The  port  number  that  the  SLURM compute node daemon, slurmd,
              listens to  for  work.  The  default  value  is  SLURMD_PORT  as
              established   at  system  build  time.  If  none  is  explicitly
              specified, its value will be 6818.  NOTE: Either  slurmctld  and
              slurmd  daemons must not execute on the same nodes or the values
              of SlurmctldPort and SlurmdPort must be different.

       SlurmdSpoolDir
              Fully qualified pathname of a directory into  which  the  slurmd
              daemon’s  state information and batch job script information are
              written. This must be a  common  pathname  for  all  nodes,  but
              should  represent  a  directory  which  is  local  to  each node
              (reference  a  local  file  system).  The   default   value   is
              "/var/spool/slurmd."  NOTE: This directory is also used to store
              slurmd’s shared memory  lockfile,  and  should  not  be  changed
              unless the system is being cleanly restarted. If the location of
              SlurmdSpoolDir is changed  and  slurmd  is  restarted,  the  new
              daemon  will attach to a different shared memory region and lose
              track of any running jobs.

       SlurmdTimeout
              The interval, in seconds, that the SLURM  controller  waits  for
              slurmd  to respond before configuring that node’s state to DOWN.
              A value of zero  indicates  the  node  will  not  be  tested  by
              slurmctld  to  confirm the state of slurmd, the node will not be
              automatically set to a DOWN state  indicating  a  non-responsive
              slurmd,  and  some  other  tool  will  take  responsibility  for
              monitoring the state of each compute node and its slurmd daemon.
              SLURM’s hierarchical communication mechanism is used to ping the
              slurmd daemons in order to minimize system noise  and  overhead.
              The  default  value  is  300  seconds.  The value may not exceed
              65533 seconds.

       SrunEpilog
              Fully qualified pathname of an executable  to  be  run  by  srun
              following  the  completion  of  a  job  step.   The command line
              arguments for the executable will be the command  and  arguments
              of the job step.  This configuration parameter may be overridden
              by srun’s --epilog parameter. Note that while the other "Epilog"
              executables  (e.g., TaskEpilog) are run by slurmd on the compute
              nodes where the tasks are executed, the SrunEpilog runs  on  the
              node where the "srun" is executing.

       SrunProlog
              Fully  qualified  pathname  of  an  executable to be run by srun
              prior to the launch of a job step.  The command  line  arguments
              for  the executable will be the command and arguments of the job
              step.  This configuration parameter may be overridden by  srun’s
              --prolog   parameter.   Note   that  while  the  other  "Prolog"
              executables (e.g., TaskProlog) are run by slurmd on the  compute
              nodes  where  the tasks are executed, the SrunProlog runs on the
              node where the "srun" is executing.

       StateSaveLocation
              Fully qualified pathname of a directory  into  which  the  SLURM
              controller,     slurmctld,     saves     its     state     (e.g.
              "/usr/local/slurm/checkpoint").  SLURM state will saved here  to
              recover  from system failures.  SlurmUser must be able to create
              files  in  this  directory.   If  you  have  a  BackupController
              configured,  this  location  should  be readable and writable by
              both systems.  Since all running and pending job information  is
              stored  here,  the  use of a reliable file system (e.g. RAID) is
              recommended.  The default value is "/tmp".  If any slurm daemons
              terminate abnormally, their core files will also be written into
              this directory.

       SuspendExcNodes
              Specifies the nodes which are to not be  placed  in  power  save
              mode,  even  if  the node remains idle for an extended period of
              time.  Use SLURM’s hostlist expression to  identify  nodes.   By
              default  no  nodes  are excluded.  Related configuration options
              include      ResumeTimeout,      ResumeProgram,      ResumeRate,
              SuspendProgram,  SuspendRate,  SuspendTime,  SuspendTimeout, and
              SuspendExcParts.

       SuspendExcParts
              Specifies the partitions whose nodes are to  not  be  placed  in
              power  save  mode, even if the node remains idle for an extended
              period of time.   Multiple  partitions  can  be  identified  and
              separated by commas.  By default no nodes are excluded.  Related
              configuration  options  include  ResumeTimeout,   ResumeProgram,
              ResumeRate,     SuspendProgram,     SuspendRate,     SuspendTime
              SuspendTimeout, and SuspendExcNodes.

       SuspendProgram
              SuspendProgram is the program that will be executed when a  node
              remains  idle  for  an extended period of time.  This program is
              expected to place the node into some power save mode.  This  can
              be  used  to  reduce  the  frequency  and  voltage  of a node or
              completely  power  the  node  off.   The  program  executes   as
              SlurmUser.   The  argument  to  the program will be the names of
              nodes to be  placed  into  power  savings  mode  (using  SLURM’s
              hostlist  expression  format).   By  default, no program is run.
              Related    configuration    options    include    ResumeTimeout,
              ResumeProgram,     ResumeRate,     SuspendRate,     SuspendTime,
              SuspendTimeout, SuspendExcNodes, and SuspendExcParts.

       SuspendRate
              The rate at which nodes  are  place  into  power  save  mode  by
              SuspendProgram.   The value is number of nodes per minute and it
              can be used to prevent a large drop in power  power  consumption
              (e.g.  after a large job completes).  A value of zero results in
              no limits being imposed.  The default  value  is  60  nodes  per
              minute.   Related  configuration  options include ResumeTimeout,
              ResumeProgram,    ResumeRate,    SuspendProgram,    SuspendTime,
              SuspendTimeout, SuspendExcNodes, and SuspendExcParts.

       SuspendTime
              Nodes  which  remain  idle  for  this  number of seconds will be
              placed into power save mode by SuspendProgram.  A  value  of  -1
              disables   power   save   mode  and  is  the  default.   Related
              configuration  options  include  ResumeTimeout,   ResumeProgram,
              ResumeRate,    SuspendProgram,    SuspendRate,   SuspendTimeout,
              SuspendExcNodes, and SuspendExcParts.

       SuspendTimeout
              Maximum time permitted (in second) between when a  node  suspend
              request  is issued and when the node shutdown.  At that time the
              node must ready for a resume request to be issued as needed  for
              new   work.    The   default   value  is  30  seconds.   Related
              configuration   options   include   ResumeProgram,   ResumeRate,
              ResumeTimeout,    SuspendRate,    SuspendTime,   SuspendProgram,
              SuspendExcNodes  and  SuspendExcParts.   More   information   is
              available        at        the        SLURM       web       site
              (https://computing.llnl.gov/linux/slurm/power_save.html).

       SwitchType
              Identifies  the  type  of  switch  or  interconnect   used   for
              application    communications.     Acceptable   values   include
              "switch/none" for switches not requiring special processing  for
              job  launch  or termination (Myrinet, Ethernet, and InfiniBand),
              "switch/elan" for Quadrics Elan 3 or Elan 4  interconnect.   The
              default value is "switch/none".  All SLURM daemons, commands and
              running jobs must be restarted for a  change  in  SwitchType  to
              take  effect.   If  running  jobs exist at the time slurmctld is
              restarted with a new value of SwitchType, records of all jobs in
              any state may be lost.

       TaskEpilog
              Fully qualified pathname of a program to be execute as the slurm
              job’s owner after termination of each task.  See TaskProlog  for
              execution order details.

       TaskPlugin
              Identifies  the  type  of  task launch plugin, typically used to
              provide resource management within a node (e.g. pinning tasks to
              specific processors).  Acceptable values include "task/none" for
              systems requiring no special  handling  and  "task/affinity"  to
              enable  the  --cpu_bind  and/or  --mem_bind  srun  options.  The
              default  value  is  "task/none".   If  you  "task/affinity"  and
              encounter problems, it may be due to the variety of system calls
              used to implement task affinity on different operating  systems.
              If  that is the case, you may want to use Portable Linux Process
              Affinity  (PLPA,   see   http://www.open-mpi.org/software/plpa),
              which is supported by SLURM.

       TaskPluginParam
              Optional  parameters  for  the  task  plugin.   Multiple options
              should be comma separated  If  None,  Sockets,  Cores,  Threads,
              and/or  Verbose are specified, they will override the --cpu_bind
              option specified  by  the  user  in  the  srun  command.   None,
              Sockets, Cores and Threads are mutually exclusive and since they
              decrease scheduling flexibility are  not  generally  recommended
              (select  no  more  than  one  of  them).   Cpusets and Sched are
              mutually exclusive (select only one of them).

              Cores     Always bind  to  cores.   Overrides  user  options  or
                        automatic binding.

              Cpusets   Use  cpusets  to  perform task affinity functions.  By
                        default, Sched task binding is performed.

              None      Perform no task binding.  Overrides  user  options  or
                        automatic binding.

              Sched     Use  sched_setaffinity  or  plpa_sched_setaffinity (if
                        available) to bind tasks to processors.

              Sockets   Always bind to sockets.   Overrides  user  options  or
                        automatic binding.

              Threads   Always  bind  to  threads.   Overrides user options or
                        automatic binding.

              Verbose   Verbosely report binding before tasks run.   Overrides
                        user options.

       TaskProlog
              Fully qualified pathname of a program to be execute as the slurm
              job’s owner prior to  initiation  of  each  task.   Besides  the
              normal  environment variables, this has SLURM_TASK_PID available
              to identify the process ID of the task being started.   Standard
              output  from this program can be used to control the environment
              variables and output for the user program.

              export NAME=value   Will set environment variables for the  task
                                  being  spawned.   Everything after the equal
                                  sign to the end of the line will be used  as
                                  the  value  for  the  environment  variable.
                                  Exporting  of  functions  is  not  currently
                                  supported.

              print ...           Will  cause  that  line (without the leading
                                  "print  ")  to  be  printed  to  the   job’s
                                  standard output.

              unset NAME          Will  clear  environment  variables  for the
                                  task being spawned.

              The order of task prolog/epilog execution is as follows:

              1. pre_launch()     Function in TaskPlugin

              2. TaskProlog       System-wide  per  task  program  defined  in
                                  slurm.conf

              3. user prolog      Job step specific task program defined using
                                  srun’s     --task-prolog      option      or
                                  SLURM_TASK_PROLOG environment variable

              4. Execute the job step’s task

              5. user epilog      Job step specific task program defined using
                                  srun’s     --task-epilog      option      or
                                  SLURM_TASK_EPILOG environment variable

              6. TaskEpilog       System-wide  per  task  program  defined  in
                                  slurm.conf

              7. post_term()      Function in TaskPlugin

       TmpFS  Fully qualified pathname of the file system  available  to  user
              jobs   for   temporary   storage.  This  parameter  is  used  in
              establishing a node’s  TmpDisk  space.   The  default  value  is
              "/tmp".

       TopologyPlugin
              Identifies  the  plugin  to  be used for determining the network
              topology and optimizing  job  allocations  to  minimize  network
              contention.    Acceptable   values  include  "topology/3d_torus"
              (default  for  Cray  XT,  IBM  BlueGene  and  Sun  Constellation
              systems,   best-fit   logic   over  three-dimensional  topology)
              "topology/none" (default for other systems, best-fit logic  over
              one-dimensional  topology)  and  "topology/tree"  (determine the
              network  topology  based  upon  information   contained   in   a
              topology.conf  file).   See  NETWORK TOPOLOGY below for details.
              Additional plugins may be provided in the  future  which  gather
              topology information directly from the network.

       TrackWCKey
              Boolean  yes  or  no.   Used  to  set  display  and track of the
              Workload Characterization Key.   Must  be  set  to  track  wckey
              usage.

       TreeWidth
              Slurmd  daemons  use  a virtual tree network for communications.
              TreeWidth specifies the width of the  tree  (i.e.  the  fanout).
              The  default  value  is  50,  meaning  each  slurmd  daemon  can
              communicate with up to 50 other slurmd  daemons  and  over  2500
              nodes can be contacted with two message hops.  The default value
              will work well for most clusters.   Optimal  system  performance
              can typically be achieved if TreeWidth is set to the square root
              of the number of nodes in the cluster for systems having no more
              than 2500 nodes or the cube root for larger systems.

       UnkillableStepProgram
              If  the  processes in a job step are determined to be unkillable
              for a period of  time  specified  by  the  UnkillableStepTimeout
              variable, the program specified by UnkillableStepProgram will be
              executed.  This program can be used to take special  actions  to
              clean   up  the  unkillable  processes  and/or  notify  computer
              administrators.  The program will  be  run  SlurmdUser  (usually
              "root").  By default no program is run.

       UnkillableStepTimeout
              The  length  of  time,  in  seconds, that SLURM will wait before
              deciding that processes in a job step are unkillable (after they
              have     been     signaled    with    SIGKILL)    and    execute
              UnkillableStepProgram as described above.  The  default  timeout
              value is 60 seconds.

       UsePAM If  set  to  1, PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules for Linux)
              will be enabled.  PAM is used to establish the upper bounds  for
              resource   limits.   With  PAM  support  enabled,  local  system
              administrators can dynamically configure system resource limits.
              Changing  the upper bound of a resource limit will not alter the
              limits of running jobs, only jobs started  after  a  change  has
              been  made  will pick up the new limits.  The default value is 0
              (not to enable PAM support).  Remember that PAM also needs to be
              configured to support SLURM as a service.  For sites using PAM’s
              directory based configuration option, a configuration file named
              slurm  should  be  created.  The module-type, control-flags, and
              module-path names that should be included in the file are:
              auth        required      pam_localuser.so
              auth        required      pam_shells.so
              account     required      pam_unix.so
              account     required      pam_access.so
              session     required      pam_unix.so
              For sites configuring PAM with a general configuration file, the
              appropriate  lines (see above), where slurm is the service-name,
              should be added.

       WaitTime
              Specifies how many seconds the srun command  should  by  default
              wait  after  the  first  task  terminates before terminating all
              remaining tasks. The "--wait" option on the  srun  command  line
              overrides  this  value.   If set to 0, this feature is disabled.
              May not exceed 65533 seconds.

       The configuration of nodes (or machines) to be managed by SLURM is also
       specified  in  /etc/slurm.conf.   Changes  in  node configuration (e.g.
       adding nodes, changing their processor count, etc.) require  restarting
       the  slurmctld  daemon.   Only  the  NodeName  must  be supplied in the
       configuration  file.   All  other  node  configuration  information  is
       optional.   It  is advisable to establish baseline node configurations,
       especially if the cluster is heterogeneous.  Nodes  which  register  to
       the  system  with  less  than the configured resources (e.g. too little
       memory), will be placed in the "DOWN" state to avoid scheduling jobs on
       them.   Establishing  baseline  configurations  will also speed SLURM’s
       scheduling process by permitting it to compare job requirements against
       these  (relatively  few)  configuration  parameters  and possibly avoid
       having to  check  job  requirements  against  every  individual  node’s
       configuration.   The  resources  checked at node registration time are:
       Procs, RealMemory and TmpDisk.  While baseline values for each of these
       can  be  established  in the configuration file, the actual values upon
       node registration are recorded and these actual values may be used  for
       scheduling  purposes  (depending  upon the value of FastSchedule in the
       configuration file.

       Default values can be specified with a record in  which  "NodeName"  is
       "DEFAULT".  The default entry values will apply only to lines following
       it in the configuration file  and  the  default  values  can  be  reset
       multiple  times  in  the configuration file with multiple entries where
       "NodeName=DEFAULT".  The "NodeName=" specification must  be  placed  on
       every  line  describing  the  configuration  of  nodes.  In fact, it is
       generally possible and desirable to define the  configurations  of  all
       nodes  in  only  a  few  lines.   This  convention  permits significant
       optimization in the scheduling of larger clusters.  In order to support
       the  concept of jobs requiring consecutive nodes on some architectures,
       node specifications should be place in this file in consecutive  order.
       No  single  node name may be listed more than once in the configuration
       file.  Use  "DownNodes="  to  record  the  state  of  nodes  which  are
       temporarily  in  a  DOWN,  DRAIN  or  FAILING  state  without  altering
       permanent configuration information.  A job step’s tasks are  allocated
       to  nodes in order the nodes appear in the configuration file. There is
       presently no capability within SLURM to arbitrarily order a job  step’s
       tasks.

       Multiple  node  names  may be comma separated (e.g. "alpha,beta,gamma")
       and/or a simple node range expression may optionally be used to specify
       numeric  ranges  of  nodes  to avoid building a configuration file with
       large numbers of entries.  The node range expression  can  contain  one
       pair  of  square  brackets  with  a sequence of comma separated numbers
       and/or ranges of numbers separated by a "-" (e.g. "linux[0-64,128]", or
       "lx[15,18,32-33]").   Note  that  the numeric ranges can include one or
       more leading zeros to indicate the numeric portion has a  fixed  number
       of  digits  (e.g. "linux[0000-1023]").  Up to two numeric ranges can be
       included in the expression (e.g. "rack[0-63]_blade[0-41]").  If one  or
       more  numeric  expressions are included, one of them must be at the end
       of the name (e.g. "unit[0-31]rack" is invalid), but arbitrary names can
       always be used in a comma separated list.

       On  BlueGene  systems only, the square brackets should contain pairs of
       three digit numbers separated by a "x".   These  numbers  indicate  the
       boundaries  of  a rectangular prism (e.g. "bgl[000x144,400x544]").  See
       BlueGene  documentation  for  more  details.   The  node  configuration
       specified the following information:

       NodeName
              Name  that  SLURM uses to refer to a node (or base partition for
              BlueGene systems).  Typically this  would  be  the  string  that
              "/bin/hostname  -s" returns.  It may also be the fully qualified
              domain  name   as   returned   by   "/bin/hostname   -f"   (e.g.
              "foo1.bar.com"),  or  any  valid domain name associated with the
              host through the host database (/etc/hosts) or DNS, depending on
              the  resolver  settings.   Note  that  if  the short form of the
              hostname is not used, it may prevent use of hostlist expressions
              (the  numeric  portion  in  brackets  must  be at the end of the
              string).  Only short hostname  forms  are  compatible  with  the
              switch/elan  and switch/federation plugins at this time.  It may
              also be an arbitrary string if NodeHostname  is  specified.   If
              the NodeName is "DEFAULT", the values specified with that record
              will apply to subsequent node specifications  unless  explicitly
              set  to  other  values  in  that  node record or replaced with a
              different set of default values.  For architectures in which the
              node  order is significant, nodes will be considered consecutive
              in the order defined.  For example,  if  the  configuration  for
              "NodeName=charlie"  immediately  follows  the  configuration for
              "NodeName=baker"  they  will  be  considered  adjacent  in   the
              computer.

       NodeHostname
              Typically  this  would  be  the  string  that "/bin/hostname -s"
              returns.  It may also be the  fully  qualified  domain  name  as
              returned  by  "/bin/hostname  -f"  (e.g. "foo1.bar.com"), or any
              valid domain name associated with  the  host  through  the  host
              database   (/etc/hosts)   or  DNS,  depending  on  the  resolver
              settings.  Note that if the short form of the  hostname  is  not
              used,  it  may  prevent use of hostlist expressions (the numeric
              portion in brackets must be at the end  of  the  string).   Only
              short  hostname  forms  are  compatible with the switch/elan and
              switch/federation plugins at this time.  A node range expression
              can  be  used  to  specify  a set of nodes.  If an expression is
              used, the number of nodes identified by NodeHostname on  a  line
              in  the  configuration  file  must be identical to the number of
              nodes identified by NodeName.  By default, the NodeHostname will
              be identical in value to NodeName.

       NodeAddr
              Name  that  a  node  should  be  referred  to  in establishing a
              communications path.  This name will be used as an  argument  to
              the  gethostbyname()  function  for  identification.   If a node
              range expression is used to designate multiple nodes, they  must
              exactly    match    the    entries   in   the   NodeName   (e.g.
              "NodeName=lx[0-7]  NodeAddr="elx[0-7]").   NodeAddr   may   also
              contain   IP  addresses.   By  default,  the  NodeAddr  will  be
              identical in value to NodeName.

       CoresPerSocket
              Number of cores in a  single  physical  processor  socket  (e.g.
              "2").   The  CoresPerSocket  value describes physical cores, not
              the logical number of processors per socket.  NOTE: If you  have
              multi-core  processors,  you  will  likely  need to specify this
              parameter in order to optimize scheduling.  The default value is
              1.

       Feature
              A  comma  delimited list of arbitrary strings indicative of some
              characteristic associated with the  node.   There  is  no  value
              associated  with  a  feature  at  this time, a node either has a
              feature or it does not.  If desired  a  feature  may  contain  a
              numeric  component indicating, for example, processor speed.  By
              default a node has no features.

       Procs  Number of logical processors on the node (e.g. "2").   If  Procs
              is  omitted,  it  will  set  equal  to  the  product of Sockets,
              CoresPerSocket, and ThreadsPerCore.  The default value is 1.

       RealMemory
              Size of real memory on the node in MegaBytes (e.g. "2048").  The
              default value is 1.

       Reason Identifies  the  reason  for  a  node  being  in  state  "DOWN",
              "DRAINED"  "DRAINING",  "FAIL"  or  "FAILING".   Use  quotes  to
              enclose a reason having more than one word.

       Sockets
              Number  of  physical  processor  sockets/chips on the node (e.g.
              "2").  If Sockets is omitted, it will be  inferred  from  Procs,
              CoresPerSocket,   and   ThreadsPerCore.    NOTE:   If  you  have
              multi-core processors, you will likely  need  to  specify  these
              parameters.  The default value is 1.

       State  State  of  the node with respect to the initiation of user jobs.
              Acceptable values are "DOWN",  "DRAIN",  "FAIL",  "FAILING"  and
              "UNKNOWN".   "DOWN" indicates the node failed and is unavailable
              to be allocated work.  "DRAIN" indicates the node is unavailable
              to  be allocated work.  "FAIL" indicates the node is expected to
              fail soon, has  no  jobs  allocated  to  it,  and  will  not  be
              allocated  to  any  new  jobs.   "FAILING" indicates the node is
              expected to fail soon, has one or more jobs allocated to it, but
              will  not be allocated to any new jobs.  "UNKNOWN" indicates the
              node’s  state  is  undefined  (BUSY  or  IDLE),  but   will   be
              established  when the slurmd daemon on that node registers.  The
              default value is "UNKNOWN".  Also see  the  DownNodes  parameter
              below.

       ThreadsPerCore
              Number  of logical threads in a single physical core (e.g. "2").
              Note that the SLURM can allocate resources to jobs down  to  the
              resolution  of  a  core.  If your system is configured with more
              than one thread per core, execution of a different job  on  each
              thread  is  not  supported.   A  job  can execute a one task per
              thread from within one job step or execute a distinct  job  step
              on  each of the threads.  Note also if you are running with more
              than 1 thread per core and running  the  select/cons_res  plugin
              you  will  want  to  set  the  SelectTypeParameters  variable to
              something other than CR_CPU to avoid  unexpected  results.   The
              default value is 1.

       TmpDisk
              Total size of temporary disk storage in TmpFS in MegaBytes (e.g.
              "16384"). TmpFS (for "Temporary  File  System")  identifies  the
              location which jobs should use for temporary storage.  Note this
              does not indicate the amount of free space available to the user
              on  the  node,  only  the  total  file  system  size. The system
              administration should insure  this  file  system  is  purged  as
              needed so that user jobs have access to most of this space.  The
              Prolog and/or Epilog programs (specified  in  the  configuration
              file)  might  be  used  to insure the file system is kept clean.
              The default value is 0.

       Weight The priority of the node for scheduling  purposes.   All  things
              being  equal,  jobs  will be allocated the nodes with the lowest
              weight which  satisfies  their  requirements.   For  example,  a
              heterogeneous  collection of nodes might be placed into a single
              partition for greater  system  utilization,  responsiveness  and
              capability.  It  would  be preferable to allocate smaller memory
              nodes rather than larger memory nodes if either will  satisfy  a
              job’s  requirements.   The  units  of  weight are arbitrary, but
              larger weights should be assigned to nodes with more processors,
              memory, disk space, higher processor speed, etc.  Note that if a
              job allocation request can not be satisfied using the nodes with
              the  lowest weight, the set of nodes with the next lowest weight
              is added to the set of nodes under consideration for use (repeat
              as  needed  for higher weight values). If you absolutely want to
              minimize the number of higher weight nodes allocated  to  a  job
              (at  a  cost  of  higher  scheduling overhead), give each node a
              distinct Weight value and they will be  added  to  the  pool  of
              nodes being considered for scheduling individually.  The default
              value is 1.

       The "DownNodes=" configuration permits you to mark certain nodes as  in
       a  DOWN,  DRAIN,  FAIL, or FAILING state without altering the permanent
       configuration information listed under a "NodeName=" specification.

       DownNodes
              Any node name, or list  of  node  names,  from  the  "NodeName="
              specifications.

       Reason Identifies the reason for a node being in state "DOWN", "DRAIN",
              "FAIL" or "FAILING.  Use quotes to enclose a reason having  more
              than one word.

       State  State  of  the node with respect to the initiation of user jobs.
              Acceptable values are "BUSY", "DOWN", "DRAIN", "FAIL", "FAILING,
              "IDLE",  and "UNKNOWN".  "DOWN" indicates the node failed and is
              unavailable to be allocated work.  "DRAIN" indicates the node is
              unavailable  to be allocated work.  "FAIL" indicates the node is
              expected to fail soon, has no jobs allocated to it, and will not
              be  allocated  to any new jobs.  "FAILING" indicates the node is
              expected to fail soon, has one or more jobs allocated to it, but
              will  not  be allocated to any new jobs.  "FUTURE" indicates the
              node is defined for future use and need not exist when the SLURM
              daemons  are  started. These nodes can be made available for use
              simply by updating the node state  using  the  scontrol  command
              rather  than  restarting the slurmctld daemon. After these nodes
              are made available, change their State in the  slurm.conf  file.
              Until  these  nodes  are  made  available, they will not be seen
              using any SLURM commands or Is nor will any attempt be  made  to
              contact them.  "UNKNOWN" indicates the node’s state is undefined
              (BUSY or IDLE), but will be established when the  slurmd  daemon
              on that node registers.  The default value is "UNKNOWN".

       The  partition  configuration  permits  you  to establish different job
       limits or access controls for various groups (or partitions) of  nodes.
       Nodes  may  be  in  more than one partition, making partitions serve as
       general purpose queues.  For example one may put the same set of  nodes
       into  two  different  partitions, each with different constraints (time
       limit, job sizes, groups allowed to use the partition, etc.).  Jobs are
       allocated  resources  within a single partition.  Default values can be
       specified with a record in which  "PartitionName"  is  "DEFAULT".   The
       default  entry  values  will  apply  only  to lines following it in the
       configuration file and the default values can be reset  multiple  times
       in    the    configuration    file    with   multiple   entries   where
       "PartitionName=DEFAULT".  The "PartitionName="  specification  must  be
       placed on every line describing the configuration of partitions.  NOTE:
       Put all parameters for each partition on a single line.  Each  line  of
       partition   configuration  information  should  represent  a  different
       partition.  The partition configuration  file  contains  the  following
       information:

       AllocNodes
              Comma  separated list of nodes from which users can execute jobs
              in the partition.  Node names may be specified  using  the  node
              range  expression  syntax described above.  The default value is
              "ALL".

       AllowGroups
              Comma separated list of group IDs which may execute jobs in  the
              partition.   If  at  least  one  group  associated with the user
              attempting to execute the job is  in  AllowGroups,  he  will  be
              permitted to use this partition.  Jobs executed as user root can
              use any partition without regard to the  value  of  AllowGroups.
              If  user  root  attempts  to execute a job as another user (e.g.
              using srun’s --uid option), this other user must be  in  one  of
              groups  identified  by  AllowGroups  for the job to successfully
              execute.  The default value is  "ALL".   NOTE:  For  performance
              reasons,  SLURM maintains a list of user IDs allowed to use each
              partition and this is checked at job submission time.  This list
              of  user  IDs is updated when the slurmctld daemon is restarted,
              reconfigured  (e.g.  "scontrol  reconfig")  or  the  partition’s
              AllowGroups  value is reset, even if is value is unchanged (e.g.
              "scontrol update PartitionName=name AllowGroups=group").  For  a
              user’s   access  to  a  partition  to  change,  both  his  group
              membership must change and SLURM’s internal user  ID  list  must
              change using one of the methods described above.

       Default
              If  this  keyword  is  set,  jobs  submitted without a partition
              specification will utilize this partition.  Possible values  are
              "YES" and "NO".  The default value is "NO".

       DefaultTime
              Run  time limit used for jobs that don’t specify a value. If not
              set then MaxTime will be  used.   Format  is  the  same  as  for
              MaxTime.

       DisableRootJobs
              If  set  to  "YES" then user root will be prevented from running
              any jobs on this partition.  The default value will be the value
              of  DisableRootJobs  set  outside  of  a partition specification
              (which is "NO", allowing user root to execute jobs).

       Hidden Specifies if the partition and its jobs  are  to  be  hidden  by
              default.   Hidden  partitions will by default not be reported by
              the SLURM APIs or commands.  Possible values are "YES" and "NO".
              The default value is "NO".

       MaxNodes
              Maximum  count of nodes (c-nodes for BlueGene systems) which may
              be  allocated  to  any  single  job.   The  default   value   is
              "UNLIMITED",  which is represented internally as -1.  This limit
              does not apply to jobs executed by SlurmUser or user root.

       MaxTime
              Maximum  run  time  limit  for   jobs.    Format   is   minutes,
              minutes:seconds,        hours:minutes:seconds,       days-hours,
              days-hours:minutes, days-hours:minutes:seconds  or  "UNLIMITED".
              Time  resolution  is one minute and second values are rounded up
              to the next minute.  This limit does not apply to jobs  executed
              by SlurmUser or user root.

       MinNodes
              Minimum count of nodes (or base partitions for BlueGene systems)
              which may be allocated to any single job.  The default value  is
              1.   This  limit does not apply to jobs executed by SlurmUser or
              user root.

       Nodes  Comma separated list of nodes (or base partitions  for  BlueGene
              systems)  which  are associated with this partition.  Node names
              may  be  specified  using  the  node  range  expression   syntax
              described  above.  A blank list of nodes (i.e. "Nodes= ") can be
              used if one wants a partition to exist, but  have  no  resources
              (possibly on a temporary basis).

       PartitionName
              Name   by   which   the   partition   may  be  referenced  (e.g.
              "Interactive").  This  name  can  be  specified  by  users  when
              submitting  jobs.  If the PartitionName is "DEFAULT", the values
              specified with that record will apply  to  subsequent  partition
              specifications  unless  explicitly  set  to other values in that
              partition record or replaced with a  different  set  of  default
              values.

       Priority
              Jobs submitted to a higher priority partition will be dispatched
              before pending jobs in lower priority partitions and if possible
              they  will  preempt running jobs from lower priority partitions.
              Note that a partition’s priority takes precedence over  a  job’s
              priority.  The value may not exceed 65533.

       RootOnly
              Specifies  if  only  user  ID zero (i.e. user root) may allocate
              resources in this partition. User root  may  allocate  resources
              for  any  other  user, but the request must be initiated by user
              root.  This option can be useful for a partition to  be  managed
              by  some  external  entity (e.g. a higher-level job manager) and
              prevents users from directly using  those  resources.   Possible
              values are "YES" and "NO".  The default value is "NO".

       Shared Controls  the  ability of the partition to execute more than one
              job at a time on each resource (node, socket or  core  depending
              upon the value of SelectTypeParameters).  If resources are to be
              shared, avoiding memory  over-subscription  is  very  important.
              SelectTypeParameters  should  be configured to treat memory as a
              consumable resource and the --mem option should be used for  job
              allocations.  Sharing of resources is typically useful only when
              using gang scheduling (PreemptMode=suspend or PreemptMode=kill).
              Possible  values for Shared are "EXCLUSIVE", "FORCE", "YES", and
              "NO".  The default value is "NO".  For more information see  the
              following web pages:
              https://computing.llnl.gov/linux/slurm/cons_res.html,
              https://computing.llnl.gov/linux/slurm/cons_res_share.html,
              https://computing.llnl.gov/linux/slurm/gang_scheduling.html, and
              https://computing.llnl.gov/linux/slurm/preempt.html.

              EXCLUSIVE   Allocates   entire   nodes   to   jobs   even   with
                          select/cons_res   configured.    Jobs  that  run  in
                          partitions   with   "Shared=EXCLUSIVE"   will   have
                          exclusive access to all allocated nodes.

              FORCE       Makes  all  resources in the partition available for
                          sharing without any means for users to  disable  it.
                          May  be  followed with a colon and maximum number of
                          jobs in running or  suspended  state.   For  example
                          "Shared=FORCE:4"  enables  each node, socket or core
                          to execute up to four  jobs  at  once.   Recommended
                          only  for  BlueGene  systems  configured  with small

              NO          Selected resources are allocated to a single job. No
                          resource will be allocated to more than one job.

       State  State of partition or availability for use.  Possible values are
              "UP" or "DOWN". The default value is "UP".

Prolog and Epilog Scripts

       There are a variety of prolog and epilog program options  that  execute
       with  various  permissions and at various times.  The four options most
       likely to be used are: Prolog and Epilog (executed once on each compute
       node  for  each job) plus PrologSlurmctld and EpilogSlurmctld (executed
       once on the ControlMachine for each job).

       NOTE:  Standard output and error messages are normally  not  preserved.
       Explicitly  write  output and error messages to an appropriate location
       if you which to preserve that information.

       NOTE:  The Prolog script is ONLY run on any  individual  node  when  it
       first sees a job step from a new allocation; it does not run the Prolog
       immediately when an allocation is granted.  If no  job  steps  from  an
       allocation  are  run  on  a node, it will never run the Prolog for that
       allocation.  The Epilog, on the other hand, always runs on  every  node
       of an allocation when the allocation is released.

       Information  about  the  job  is passed to the script using environment
       variables.  Unless otherwise specified, these environment variables are
       available to all of the programs.

NETWORK TOPOLOGY

       SLURM  is  able  to  optimize  job  allocations  to  minimize   network
       contention.   Special  SLURM  logic  is used to optimize allocations on
       systems  with   a   three-dimensional   interconnect   (BlueGene,   Sun
       Constellation,  etc.)   and information about configuring those systems
       are     available      on      web      pages      available      here:
       <https://computing.llnl.gov/linux/slurm/>.  For a hierarchical network,
       SLURM needs to have detailed information about how nodes are configured
       on the network switches.

       Given  network  topology  information,  SLURM  allocates all of a job’s
       resources onto a single leaf of  the  network  (if  possible)  using  a
       best-fit  algorithm.  Otherwise it will allocate a job’s resources onto
       multiple leaf switches so  as  to  minimize  the  use  of  higher-level
       switches.   The  TopologyPlugin parameter controls which plugin is used
       to collect network topology information.   The  only  values  presently
       supported  are  "topology/3d_torus"  (default  for  IBM  BlueGene,  Sun
       Constellation  and  Cray  XT  systems,  performs  best-fit  logic  over
       three-dimensional   topology),   "topology/none"   (default  for  other
       systems, best-fit logic over one-dimensional topology), "topology/tree"
       (determine  the  network topology based upon information contained in a
       topology.conf file, see  "man  topology.conf"  for  more  information).
       Future  plugins  may  gather  topology  information  directly  from the
       network.  The topology information is optional.  If not provided, SLURM
       will  perform  a  best-fit  algorithm  assuming  the  nodes  are  in  a
       one-dimensional array as configured  and  the  communications  cost  is
       related to the node distance in this array.

RELOCATING CONTROLLERS

       If  the  cluster’s  computers used for the primary or backup controller
       will be out of service for an  extended  period  of  time,  it  may  be
       desirable to relocate them.  In order to do so, follow this procedure:

       1. Stop the SLURM daemons
       2. Modify the slurm.conf file appropriately
       3. Distribute the updated slurm.conf file to all nodes
       4. Restart the SLURM daemons

       There  should  be  no loss of any running or pending jobs.  Insure that
       any nodes added  to  the  cluster  have  the  current  slurm.conf  file
       installed.

       CAUTION:  If  two  nodes  are  simultaneously configured as the primary
       controller (two nodes on which ControlMachine specify  the  local  host
       and the slurmctld daemon is executing on each), system behavior will be
       destructive.  If a compute node  has  an  incorrect  ControlMachine  or
       BackupController  parameter, that node may be rendered unusable, but no
       other harm will result.
