- update to version 2.6.7
* Support for job arrays, which increases performance and ease of
use for sets of similar jobs.
* Job profiling capability added to record a wide variety of job
characteristics for each task on a user configurable periodic
basis. Data currently available includes CPU use, memory use,
energy use, Infiniband network use, Lustre file system use, etc.
* Support for MPICH2 using PMI2 communications interface with much
greater scalability.
* Prolog and epilog support for advanced reservations.
* Much faster throughput for job step execution with --exclusive
option. The srun process is notified when resources become
available rather than periodic polling.
* Support improved for Intel MIC (Many Integrated Core) processor.
* Advanced reservations with hostname and core counts now supports
asymmetric reservations (e.g. specific different core count for
each node).
* External sensor plugin infrastructure added to record power
consumption, temperature, etc.
* Improved performance for high-throughput computing.
* MapReduce+ support (launches ~1000x faster, runs ~10x faster).
* Added "MaxCPUsPerNode" partition configuration parameter. This
can be especially useful to schedule GPUs. For example a node
can be associated with two Slurm partitions (e.g. "cpu" and
"gpu") and the partition/queue "cpu" could be limited to only a
subset of the node's CPUs, insuring that one or more CPUs would
be available to jobs in the "gpu" partition/queue.
