Slurm

An open-source workload manager and job scheduler widely used for HPC and large AI training clusters.

Definition

Slurm queues and schedules batch jobs across nodes and GPUs, using commands such as sbatch, srun, squeue and scancel. It supports GPU allocation via GRES and is common on DGX SuperPOD deployments.

Example

sbatch --nodes=4 --gpus-per-node=8 train.sh

Exam tip

Slurm suits large batch training; Kubernetes suits containerized services and inference.
