Slurm release candidate version 23.02rc1 available for testing

SchedMD News Release: Feb 14, 2023

We are pleased to announce the availability of Slurm release candidate version 23.02rc1.

To highlight some new features coming in 23.02:

  • Added a new (optional) RPC rate limiting system in slurmctld.
  • Added usage gathering for gpu/nvml (Nvidia) and gpu/rsmi (AMD) plugins.
  • Added a new jobcomp/kafka plugin.
  • Overhauled the “remote resources” (licenses) functionality managed through sacctmgr / slurmdbd, and introduce a new “lastconsumed” field that is intended to be frequently updated with the current usage as reported by “lmstat” or similar tools. This allows for better cooperative license usage, especially for systems with external workstations and other use that is not under Slurm’s control.
  • Added a new “scrun” command which can serve as a OCI runtime proxy.
  • Support for –json/–yaml output from most Slurm commands, which has been extended to support additional filtering options.
  • Extended “configless” operation to allow for propagation of files referenced in “Include” directives.
  • Allow Slurm to create directories for stdout/stderr files. These can include substitution directives such as %j, %a, and %x.

This is the first release candidate of the upcoming 23.02 release series, and represents the end of development for this release, and a finalization of the RPC and state file formats.

If any issues are identified with this release candidate, please report them through the Slurm Bugzilla against the 23.02.x version and we will address them before the first production 23.02.0 release is made.

Please note that the release candidates are not intended for production use.
