Welcome to SchedMD, your go-to destination for Slurm commercial support and development.
Slurm is an open source, workload manager built to efficiently manage nearly any workload delivering proven throughput at massive scales. Developed and maintained primarily by engineers at SchedMD with deep high-performance computing (HPC) and AI expertise, Slurm is the scheduler of choice for over half of the top one-hundred systems in the TOP500.
Trusted by many of the world's largest supercomputing and AI environments, Slurm is the market-leading open source workload manager for HPC and AI. It utilizes a hierarchical structure consisting of a controller, nodes, and partitions to allocate jobs based on policies and resources for optimizing workload distribution, maximizing cluster utilization, and ensuring efficient job execution.
Slinky, an open source project developed by SchedMD, enabling seamless interoperability between Slurm and Kubernetes. It introduces tools that allow users to run and manage Slurm clusters inside Kubernetes environments built-on on nearly any GPU-accelerated cluster, providing broad hardware support designed for today's modern, heterogeneous data centers.
Open source software provides data center operators, developers, and researchers the most flexibility for workload management, but it can take expert help to utilize it to its full capacity. From implementation to customizations, get direct access to the experts who actively develop Slurm and Slinky every day and have deep expertise in managing high-performance computing (HPC) and AI workloads.
