So recently I was tasked to set up a Slurm cluster for bioinformatics workloads, and I thought it would be a good idea to share some notes about the installation and configuration process.
So in short, before we start, what is Slurm?
Slurm is an open-source, fault-tolerant, and highly scalable cluster management and job scheduling system for large and small Linux clusters. It is used by many of the world’s supercomputers and computer clusters.
