I suspect that's going to depend mightily on the version of systemd and the 
kernel you are using (for points already covered).

I've mentioned my concerns with the kernel changes coming before on the list 
and to the developers but I'm happy to report that the Slurm 2.6 branch head 
worked fine [1] on a test CentOS7 machine (which uses systemd) at home using 
our work Slurm 2.6 config  with no changes other than removing the slurmdbd 
config.

The unified hierarchy is still a while away (a "developer preview" was shipped 
in 3.16 that can be activated with a special mount option) but I do think the 
HPC community needs to get involved in the current discussions to make sure 
that our needs are kept in mind.

[1] - very simple echo "hello world" plus confirming that its cgroup was 
configured to only allow it to access a single core.

cheers,
Chris
