- Update to version 20.11.0
Slurm 20.11 includes a number of new features including:
* Overhaul of the job step management and launch code, alongside improved
GPU task placement support.
* A new "Interactive Step" mode of operation for salloc.
* A new "scrontab" command that can be used to submit and manage
periodically repeating jobs.
* IPv6 support.
* Changes to the reservation logic, with new options allowing users
to delete reservations, allowing admins to skip the next occurance of a
repeated reservation, and allowing for a job to be submitted and eligible
to run within multiple reservations.
* Dynamic Future Nodes - automatically associate a dynamically
provisioned (or "cloud") node against a NodeName definition with matching
hardware.
* An experimental new RPC queuing mode for slurmctld to reduce thread
contention on heavily loaded clusters.
* SlurmDBD integration with the Slurm REST API.
