Before Slurm: The Challenge of Managing Clusters
In the early years of High-Performance Computing (HPC), managing workloads across a cluster of machines was largely a manual effort. Users had to log into specific nodes, assign jobs by hand, and often write custom scripts to keep track of resources. While this approach was manageable in small labs with a handful of machines, it … continue reading
