SLURM Job Scheduler
SLURM (Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management) installation, configuration and optimization. The most widely deployed HPC scheduler solution.
What Is SLURM?
SLURM (Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management) is the open-source workload manager used by the vast majority of HPC clusters worldwide. Trusted by NASA, CERN and the world's fastest supercomputers, SLURM ensures that multiple users can access shared computing resources fairly and efficiently. Mevasis provides turnkey SLURM installation, configuration and long-term optimization for enterprise and research HPC clusters.
SLURM is the industry-standard solution for enabling different users to share computational resources fairly and efficiently. For enterprise HPC, there is no equal.

How Does SLURM Work?
Free your IT team from the burden of manual job management; let SLURM's automation layer handle every resource schedule so your engineers can focus on strategic projects. Its proven scheduler algorithm takes full control of your cluster's resource utilization automatically.
Resource Reallocation
Redirect your expert HPC engineers toward more strategic initiatives; delegate routine queue management to SLURM.
Automated Job Scheduling
Eliminate the manual effort and time lost collecting data from multiple sources across your cluster.
Cost Optimization
Reduce the overhead of running multiple tools and technologies; achieve meaningful savings with a single, unified solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should this solution be chosen?
SLURM should be chosen in any environment where multiple users share a common HPC cluster. It is especially valuable for simulation, CFD, FEA or machine-learning workloads where job runtimes range from hours to days; for research and engineering environments that require priority-based queuing and fair resource distribution; and for enterprise setups where licensed software (ANSYS, LS-DYNA, etc.) must be shared in a controlled manner. For a single-user or small-scale cluster (fewer than 8 cores), this overhead may not be necessary — direct SSH access may suffice.
How does Mevasis deliver this solution?
Mevasis provides SLURM installation and configuration independently of hardware delivery: we can integrate a new scheduler into your existing cluster, perform a greenfield installation, or rescue and optimize a broken or outdated SLURM setup. Depending on project scope, we deploy all components — MUNGE authentication, OpenLDAP integration, cgroup-based resource isolation, the GPU gres plugin and automated node health checking — completely. Afterward, our 24/7 HPC maintenance packages keep monitoring and support running continuously.
How is pricing structured?
The cost of SLURM installation and configuration services varies based on cluster size, current infrastructure state and the desired integration scope. We offer a fixed project fee for one-time installations and a monthly retainer model for ongoing maintenance.
