Putting my user hat on, I was actually very happy about the switch, because in my opinion, sbatch directives and environment variables are much more convenient than qsub equivalents, and it was able to handle dozens of thousands of jobs with ease, which didn't work all that smoothly with Torque / Maui. Of course, I might not be your typical user... :-) > Anyway, the last time I looked at SLURM, it seemed to me that its > scheduler had many options missing compared to Maui. Maybe it is > better now. I have to admit that I've only used both in a very basic configuration: basically, all I needed was sane backfill scheduling and the corresponding SLURM plugin worked just fine for this purpose. -- Sincerely yours, Yury V.
