Abstract
The Slurm-VNIITF software developed by Federal State Unitary Enterprise “Russian Federal Nuclear Center - Zababakhin All-Russian Research Institute of Technical Physics”, it’s architecture, resource management capabilities and task management for numerical simulation HPC systems described in this paper. During many years usage of the HPC systems researches show that the basic features of the Slurm (Simple linux utility for resource management) software are clearly insufficient for the effective use of computing resources in HPC centers. Therefore, the authors of this paper propose an improved task and resource management policy. Slurm extension modules (plugins) for implementing this policy also described in this paper.
