Slurm: Are there any users out there that are currently using `ClusterManagers.SlurmManager` (from this package)?

Open DilumAluthge opened this issue 8 months ago • 4 comments

Currently, there are two different Slurm managers available in Julia:

  1. ClusterManagers.SlurmManager (from this package).
  2. SlurmClusterManager.SlurmManager (from the SlurmClusterManager.jl package).

We strongly recommend that all users use option 2 (the SlurmClusterManager.jl package).

Option 1 currently still exists. It has been deprecated (#246), but it has not been removed yet.

Are there any users out there that are currently using option 1? If the answer is no, then I'd like to completely remove option 1 from this package.

What do you use now? SlurmClusterManager.jl?

I am using both packages, ClusterManagers.SlurmManager and SlurmClusterManager.jl, depending on the use case. For batch jobs I use SlurmClusterManager.jl while for interactive use cases where I just want to add a few workers for a single computation I use this package. It would be great to merge the two to combine functionlities.
