What Does #Nvidia’s Acquisition of #SchedMD Mean for #Slurm?
Slurm was developed at LLNL in the early 2000s to replace commercial workload management software for #HPC clusters and #supercomputers.
Addison Snell, the CEO of Intersect360, says the acquisition of SchedMD makes sense considering the emerging focus on developing #AI models to accelerate scientific discovery and engineering, and the need to integrate traditional HPC workloads and new AI ones.

Does anyone here use the #Slurm `nss_slurm` extension?

I see in Slurm's documentation an example of how to enable the extension, but I can't find any examples of the referenced /etc/nss_slurm.conf file anywhere...

The source code of the extension seems to indicate that it is very simple file - e.g.

```
NodeName=<nodename>
SlurmdSpoolDir=<dir>
```

but I just want an example to ensure that my assumptions are correct 😅

Nvidia’s acquisition of SchedMD, the company behind Slurm, is a strategic move that goes far beyond GPUs.

Slurm (Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management) is the de facto open-source workload manager for large-scale GPU clusters, widely used in supercomputing centers, AI labs, hyperscalers, and cloud GPU operators. It plays a critical role in ...

TODO play with #SLURM before #Nvidia might ruin it. I doubt they will but never know

#Nvidia pledges more openness as it slurps up #Slurm
The chip giant revealed yesterday that it had acquired #SchedMD, the key developer behind Slurm, which Nvidia described in a statement as "an #opensource workload management system for high-performance computing (#HPC) and #AI."
"Nvidia insisted it will also support "a diverse hardware and software ecosystem, so customers can run heterogeneous clusters with the latest Slurm innovations."

Still makes me quite nervous!

🚀 #NVIDIA fortalece su ecosistema de #supercomputación e #IA con la adquisición de #SchedMD, el creador de #Slurm. La jugada busca potenciar la investigación de código abierto y la innovación en #HPC.

Without any judgement: Are there other Open Source alternatives for #SLURM for #HPC ?

> "of #slurm , the (only) Open Source cluster scheduler"
The claim of its uniqueness seems to be an exaggeration to me.
From top of my head I could name Mesos/Marathon and Ganglia, which are truly FOSS.

This is pretty awful. The reason for anti-monopoly regulations are to prevent one bully from taking over the school yard. The bully (#nvidia) buying #slurm is flatly bad. It will not improve code quality, and will be turned into a paid product.

Another situation where forking into a public project (gurm? good slurm?) may be the best bet. It's only a matter of time.

Nvidia bulks up open source offerings with an acquisition and new open AI models

The sound you hear is coming from #HPC data centers as jaws drop and the research community gasps at the news that #NVIDIA acquired SchedMD - the #SLURM developer.

SLURM is very popular for job scheduling on high performance compute clusters. Let us hope this will at least keep #CoPilot from being bolted onto SLURM. After a recent experience with CoPilot on GitHub, I’m questioning some of my life choices.

#nvidia to purchase developer of #slurm

Arguably the de-facto open-source #HPC scheduler / queue / job management tool

RE: https://social.heise.de/@heiseonlineenglish/115725340534744039

In any kind of normal timeline this would have been stopped by regulators. Instead we let a single company become the sole gatekeeper for everything in #HPC .

SchedMD are the makers of #slurm , the (only) Open Source cluster scheduler, and used by a large majority of cluster computers. Nvidia bought Mellanox a few years ago, the maker of Infiniband, the main network technology for clusters.
