Slurm manages the hardware resources on the cluster (e.g. compute nodes/cpu cores, compute memory, etc.) and allows you to request resources within the cluster to run your code. It is used for submitting jobs to compute nodes from an access point (Ivy VM). Frontends are intended for editing, compiling, and submitting jobs, while production jobs go to the compute nodes through the resource manager.

Slurm has documentation and we have condensed notes on our website.
