Slurm & HPC

Hi,
Is there any literature or proof of concept around integrating a Knime Server into a scheduler such as Slurm? I believe there was/is integration into the Sun Grid Engine?

Thank You

Hi @awhelan,

With a small tweak, a KNIME Executor located on a shared drive can be launched multiple times as a SLURM job in a cluster. This is inline with the the distributed executors architecture of KNIME Server which would allow you to use multiple nodes of an HPC as KNIME Executors.

We are working on a blog post describing this exact scenario. It should come out soon. I will be more than happy to give you an update when it gets published.

Regards,
Temesgen
