-RELEASE NOTES FOR SLURM VERSION 1.1
-15 May 2006
+RELEASE NOTES FOR SLURM VERSION 1.2
+20 July 2006
See the file NEWS for more details.
-* Added support for file broadcast to allocated compute nodes (see
- "man sbcast")
-* Added support for different executable files and arguments by task, based
- upon a configuration file (see "man srun" option "--multi-prog")
-* Added support for hierarchical communications. Added new configuration
- option "TreeWidth" (see "man slurm.conf")
-* Major re-write of accounting logic, some sacct format changes (see
- "man sacct")
-* Slurm.conf option "JobAcctType=jobacct/log" is no longer supported,
- use "JobAcctType=jobacct/none", "JobAcctType=jobacct/linux" or
- "JobAcctType=jobacct/aix" (see "man slurm.conf")
-* Support large (over 2 GB) files on 32-bit Linux systems
-* Change in support for test suite: 'testsuite/expect/globals.example'
- is now 'testsuite/expect/globals' and you can override variable
- settings with a new file 'testsuite/expect/globals.local'
-* Job suspend now sends SIGTSTP, sleep(1), sends SIGSTOP for better
- MPI support
-* Change time format in job completion logging (JobCompType=jobcomp/filetxt)
- from "MM/DD HH:MM:SS" to "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS", conforming with the ISO8601
- standard format
-* Add support for ISO8601 time format for all SLURM commands by defining
- "CFLAGS=-DISO8601" before configuration. NOTE: This may break Moab,
- Maui, and/or LSF schedulers.
-* Sacct can get accounting information about currently running jobs and
- job steps (see "man sacct")
-* Added support for mapping "%h" in configured SlurmdLog to the hostname
- (see "man slurm.conf")
-* Add PropagatePrioProcess to control propagation of a user's nice value
- to spawned tasks (see "man slurm.conf")
-* Add support for srun to set PMI communications address (see "man srun"
- option "--ctrl-comm-ifhn")
-* Re-wrote slurm.conf parsing logic. A "NodeName" may now occur only once
- in a slurm.conf file. If you want to make nodes DOWN in slurm.conf, use
- the new "DownNodes" keyword (see "man slurm.conf")
-* Added support for XCPU task launch mechanism
-* Gracefully handle request to submit batch job from within an existing
- batch job
-* Warn user attempting to create a job allocation from within an existing
- job allocation
-* Add new function to get a job's time limit (see "man slurm_get_rem_time")
-* "JobAcctType=jobacct/log"
-* Slurm.conf parameter "InactiveLimit" is not enforced for RootOnly partitions
- (see "man slurm.conf")
-* Added support for memory affinity (see "man srun" option "--mem_bind")
-* Configuration parameter "HeartBeatInterval" is deprecated. Now uses half
- of "SlurmdTimeout" and "SlurmctldTimeout" for communications to slurmd and
- slurmctld daemons respectively (see "man slurm.conf")
-* Support node-specific resource limits controlled via Pluggable Authentication
- Mechanism (PAM, see "man slurm.conf" parameter "UsePAM")
-* Support stackable plugins to be called before and/or after execution of
- each task spawned as part of a user's job step (see "man slurm.conf"
- parameter "PlugStackConfig")
+* Several new commands have been added to perform the individual srun functions.
+ The srun command will continue to exist, but these commands may offer
+ greater clarity and ease of use.
+ salloc - Perform a resource allocation (functions like "srun --allocate")
+ sattach - Attach to an existing job (functions like "srun --attach")
+ sbatch - Submit a batch job (functions like "srun --batch")
+ slaunch - Launch tasks (requires an allocaiton to already exist for the job)
+ See the indivual man pages for more information.
-BLUEGENE SPECIFIC UPDATES
-* Resource allocations based upon c-node counts rather than base partition
- counts, all commands and configuration parameters effected
-* Added support for overlapping blocks (see "man bluegene.conf")
-* Added support for dynamic block creation (see "man bluegene.conf")
-* Added support for srun -w option
-* Before assigning a job to a block the plugin will check the base
- partitions to make sure they aren't in error state
+* Permit batch jobs to be requeued ("scontrol requeue <jobid>" or
+ "srun --batch --no-requeue ..." to prevent).
+
+* Added "account" field to job and step accounting information and sacct output.
+
+* Added new configuration parameter MessageTimeout (replaces #define in the
+ code).
+
+* Added support for OS X operaing system.
