<h2><a name="24">Major Updates in SLURM Version 2.4</a></h2>
<p>SLURM Version 2.4 was release in June 2012.
Major enhancements include:
<ul>
<li>Major improvement in job throuhgput: Up to 500 jobs per second (actual
throughput depends upon configuration, hardware, etc.).</li>
<li>Support for BlueGene/Q computers.</li>
<li>Resource reservations with a node count specification will select
those nodes optimized for the system topology.</li>
<li>Support for job and step constraints with resource counts (e.g. a job
request for two nodes with a feature of "Intel" plus four nodes with a feature
of "AMD").</li>
<li>New tool <i>sdiag</i> reports scheduling statistics.</li>
<li>Support for SLURM commands operating over a LoadLeveler resource manager
(in branch of SLURM code, not in main release).</li>
</ul>
