 Think of these machines as a dumping ground for discrete computing tasks that might be rude or disruptive to execute on the main (shared) shell servers (i.e., linux1, linux2, linux3).

Simply put, Slurm is a queue management system; it was developed at the Lawrence Livermore National Lab. It currently supports some of the largest compute clusters in the world. The best description of Slurm can be found on its homepage:
 "Slurm is an open-source workload manager designed for Linux clusters of all sizes. It provides three key functions. First it allocates exclusive and/or non-exclusive access to resources (computer nodes) to users for some duration of time so they can perform work. Second, it provides a framework for starting, executing, and monitoring work (typically a parallel job) on a set of allocated nodes. Finally, it arbitrates contention for resources by managing a queue of pending work."((http://slurm.schedmd.com/))
