+SLURM is an open-source resource manager designed for *nix clusters of all
+sizes. It provides three key functions. First it allocates exclusive and/or
+non-exclusive access to resources (computer nodes) to users for some duration
+of time so they can perform work. Second, it provides a framework for starting,
+executing, and monitoring work (typically a parallel job) on a set of allocated
+nodes. Finally, it arbitrates contention for resources by managing a queue of
+pending work.
