Description

Slurm is a GPLv2 resource manager which has many features similar to the Torque resource manager. It's used on many of the top500 supercomputers.

See http://github.com/schedmd/slurm for the source code to slurm.

Supporting slurm could be done through a method similar to the python scripts used for Torque. A proof-of-concept-quality version of slurm support is currently in development.

Slurm's support of cgroups may be a point of concern since it may conflict with Mesos' lxc support.
