Workload management
TrinityX is using the OpenHPC for user space, including SLURM.
SLURM (OpenHPC)
TrinityX is configured to use the default paths for SLURM. The configuration directory /etc/slurm is shared on all the nodes but links to /trinity/shared/etc/slurm where all the files reside.
For better readability, the files have been split up and included from the main slurm.conf file.
| File | Description |
|---|---|
| slurm.conf | Main configuration file |
| acct_gather.conf | Slurm configuration file for the acct_gather plugins (see acct_gather.conf) |
| slurm-health.conf | Health check configuration (where applicable) |
| slurm-partitions.conf | Partition configuration |
| topology.conf | Slurm configuration file for defining the network topology (see topology.conf) |
| cgroup.conf | Slurm configuration file for the cgroup support (see cgroup.conf) |
| slurmdbd.conf | Slurm Database Daemon (SlurmDBD) configuration file ([see slurmdbd.conf(https://slurm.schedmd.com/slurmdbd.conf.html)]) |
| slurm-nodes.conf | Slurm node configuration file |
| slurm-user.conf | Slurm user configuration file (e.g. QoS, priorities) |
By default Luna generates the configuration for nodes and partitions, where the partition is based on the group name. This method is useful for homogeneous node-type cluster where a default node contains the detailed configuration for CPU-s, cores and RAM. When more complexity is desired, e.g. having different node-types, the automation can be overidden by manually configuration in these files, or the graphical slurm configurator can be used.
