Aerospace & Defense FAQs
What security measures does Slurm have in place?
With job and resource isolation capabilities, Slurm allows administrators to define partitions, ensuring that jobs run independently of one another. Partitions ensure sensitive research data is only processed and stored within designated and controlled environments. These isolations help prevent unauthorized access and reduce the risk of data leaks and tampering.
Other checkpoints include comprehensive logging and auditing which tracks user activity, ensuring accountability and traceability in data handling processes. Administrators can also enforce controls and limit access to sensitive research data based on user roles and permissions.
What documentation, training and support resources are available for admin and end users?
SchedMD has a number of services available including:
- Support contracts
- On-site trainings
- Consultations hours
- Custom development
- Configuration Assistance
- Migration Assistance/Proof of Concept
Administrators and users can review Slurm documentation and more information on SchedMD Services.
How does Slurm utilize GPUs?
With first class resource management for GPUs, Slurm allows users to request GPU resources alongside CPUs. This flexibility ensures that jobs are executed quickly and efficiently, while maximizing resource utilization.
Slurm provides features and flexibility that allow for effective GPU resource management including resource allocation, scheduling policies, GPU partitioning, and GPU reporting and monitoring.
It’s important to note that the exact behavior of Slurm in managing GPUs can be customized through its configuration files and policies, making it flexible for various HPC cluster setups.
What monitoring and reporting features does Slurm offer?
Slurm has multiple features and commands in place to help administrators and end users monitor cluster activity, track resource utilization, diagnose performance issues, and integrate with monitoring systems. Learn more about features like squeue, scontrol, sinfo, and more in our Common Slurm Commands blog.
Does Slurm support containerized applications for Aerospace and Defense?
Slurm can support and interact with containers in various ways to manage and execute jobs efficiently.
Slurm supports multiple container runtimes (Docker, Singularity, Shifter) and can be integrated with container orchestrators (Kubernetes, Docker Swarm). Slurm will allocate resources based on job submission requirements and manage the execution of jobs within containers using the specified runtime. The integrated container orchestrator handles the deployment and management of containers across the cluster.
Containers provide isolation between jobs running on the same node, preventing interference and conflicts. Slurm ensures that containers are properly isolated and securely managed within the HPC cluster environment.
Slurm’s support for containers provides users with flexibility in managing and executing jobs in HPC environments, allowing them to leverage container technologies to enhance productivity and resource utilization.
How does Slurm integrate with my site’s existing software and industry tools?
Slurm utilizes REST API, opening a wide array of possibilities for a site’s HPC environment. REST API enables Slurm’s integration with existing software and industry preferred tools. Examples of REST API integrations include:
- Workflow Management systems to orchestrate complex data processing pipelines
- Data analytics platforms to efficiently distribute computational tasks across clusters, dynamically allocating and scaling resources based on workload demands.
- Container orchestration tools to allow users to deploy containerized applications as jobs, manage resources allocation, and scale container instances.
- Monitoring and logging systems to provide administrators with real-time insights on cluster performance, resource utilization, and job execution.
REST API serves as a versatile integration mechanism to enable seamless communication between SLurm and a wide array of tools, empowering users to leverage their HPC resources to the fullest power.
