Abstract

The XSEDE Software Testing and Deployment group needs a small SLURM testbed system (4 computes nodes + 1 head node) on which to test and evaluate grid software that needs to interact with SLURM, in particular UNICORE and Genesis II.  These nodes need not be physical servers; VMs (e.g. on Alamo) would be fine.

Intellectual Merit

This testing directly affects XSEDE's ability to test and deploy new versions of grid software for use by the national user community.

Broader Impacts

This testing directly affects XSEDE's ability to test and deploy new versions of grid software for use by the national user community.
