dynamic processes, adaptive processes

[Andrew Petersen]

Hello

I see that slurm can do dynamic process allocation.
http://slurm.schedmd.com/dynalloc.html
However the description is brief and I don't know if this can do what I
want. I want to be able to 1) run an mpi job 2) if cores are available,
spawn more jobs (to take up the whole cluster, for example) 3) If another
job starts, then processes/spawns are terminated to make room for the other
job, if is has equal or higher priority. Can I get SLURM to do this?

Regards

The dynamic process allocation is only intregrated with Hadoop at this point.

What you probably want is this:
