Thanks Aaron. Unfortunately, that isn't an option for us. We are entirely a Windows network, and it doesn't look like SLURM is supported on Windows.

Joe, I use slurm (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.schedmd.com/slurm/__;!!KM6X6ZXWXVtZ MQ!ePyRP6K5nFNvBVVW9kKpAMuytvpAHcvfUPrm1AQePTs37VpzkTUQhiCei3lENldy19Nezfvny aiTuHT13jNU9FlhyeDUIfBR$ ) Its FOSS, with an option for paid support (that I haven't used). It came installed on our Dell cluster in 2019 so I don't have experience setting it up from scratch, just administering it. We have a small Linux cluster with 4 nodes and a small team w/ 4 or 5 users and it works great for us. I set it up about 6 years ago and we've run 1.8M jobs and haven't had any trouble. RSM even had support for it in newer versions (at least through Ansys 2023). Aaron C.

We're a fairly small company and can't afford one of these larger tools like LSF. Joseph T Metrisin Structures Lead Florida Turbine Technologies, Inc 1701 Military Tr.
