My lab is currently working with an ubuntu based distribution in 20.04 on a machine with 72 cores. We'd like to setup a job scheduler so we could submit computing jobs to each of the different cores. I've gone through the slurm quickstart but have not managed to get it to work. I can't get the daemon to start. Previously my lab used the TORQUE job scheduler by installing an older version as described here. I have yet to try installing TORQUE on this machine because the packages aren't showing up with apt-get and installing all the dependencies seems difficult manually. Has anyone managed to get a job scheduler to work?

  • I found that one can install it with Synaptic Package Manager. The advantage is that it installs all the correct dependencies. Mar 4, 2021 at 12:01

I found snap install at https://snapcraft.io/install/slurm/ubuntu But it is not clear where to put the slurm.conf file?
