Abstract generation in progress

NVIDIA has acquired SchedMD, the company behind Slurm — a popular open-source scheduler for HPC and AI workloads — to strengthen the open-source software ecosystem and support innovation for researchers, developers, and businesses. NVIDIA affirms that Slurm will continue to be maintained as an open-source, hardware-independent tool.

Slurm is currently used in over half of the TOP500 supercomputers worldwide, enabling parallel job scheduling and resource allocation across thousands of CPUs and GPUs. The integration of SchedMD allows NVIDIA to manage a key component in the HPC and AI software stack, connecting hardware accelerators like Blackwell GPUs and InfiniBand networks with advanced task scheduling systems.

NVIDIA states that the acquisition will help customers manage workloads more efficiently across multiple systems, while continuing to invest in the development of Slurm and providing open-source services and training to the broader community.
