It is advisable to establish baseline node configurations in
the configuration file, especially if the cluster is heterogeneous.
Nodes which register to the system with less than the configured resources
(e.g. too little memory), will be placed in the "DOWN" state to
avoid scheduling jobs on them.
Establishing baseline configurations will also speed SLURM's
scheduling process by permitting it to compare job requirements
against these (relatively few) configuration parameters and
possibly avoid having to perform checks job requirements
against every individual node's configuration.
The resources checked at node registration time are: CPUs,
RealMemory and TmpDisk.
While baseline values for each of these can be established
