Wilmington, North Carolina once had a thriving Black middle class and an elected interracial government. In 1898 white supremacists used violence to overthrow that government, kill Black residents and drive many others from the city.

The Slurm Workload Manager, formerly known as Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management (SLURM), or simply Slurm, is a free and open-source job scheduler for Linux and Unix-like kernels, used by many of the world's supercomputers and computer clusters.
Slurm uses a best-fit algorithm based on Hilbert curve scheduling or fat tree network topology in order to optimize locality of task assignments on parallel computers.[4] It provides three key functions:
Slurm began development as a collaborative effort primarily by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, SchedMD,[5] Linux NetworX, Hewlett-Packard, and Groupe Bull as a Free Software resource manager. The first release happened in 2002.[6] It was inspired by the closed source Quadrics RMS and shares a similar syntax. The name is a reference to the soda in Futurama.[7] Over 250 people around the world have contributed to the project. It has since evolved into a sophisticated batch scheduler capable of satisfying the requirements of many large computer centers.
In 2010, the developers of Slurm founded SchedMD, which maintains the canonical source, provides development, level 3 commercial support and training services. Commercial support is also available from Bull, Cray, and Science + Computing (subsidiary of Atos).[citation needed]
As of November 2021[update], Slurm is the workload manager on about 60% of the TOP500 supercomputers.[8]
Slurm's design is very modular with about 100 optional plugins. In its simplest configuration, it can be installed and configured in a couple of minutes. More sophisticated configurations provide database integration for accounting, management of resource limits and workload prioritization.
Recent Slurm releases run only on Linux. Older versions had been ported to a few other POSIX-based operating systems, including BSDs (FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD),[9] but this is no longer feasible as Slurm now requires cgroups for core operations. Clusters running operating systems other than Linux will need to use a different batch system, such as LPJS.[10] Slurm also supports several unique computer architectures, including:
The slurm system has three main parts:
slurmctld, a central control daemon running on a single control node (optionally with failover backups);slurmd daemons;For clients, the main commands are srun (queue up an interactive job), sbatch (queue up a job), squeue (print the job queue) and scancel (remove a job from the queue).[examples needed]
Jobs can be run in batch mode or interactive mode. For interactive mode, a compute node would start a shell, connects the client into it, and run the job. From there the user may observe and interact with the job while it is running. Usually, interactive jobs are used for initial debugging, and after debugging, the same job would be submitted by sbatch. For a batch mode job, its stdout and stderr outputs are typically directed to text files for later inspection.

The Slurm Workload Manager, formerly known as Simple Linux Utility for Resource Management (SLURM), or simply Slurm, is a free and open-source job scheduler for Linux and Unix-like kernels, used by many of the world's supercomputers and computer clusters. Slurm uses a best-fit algorithm based on Hilbert curve scheduling or fat tree network topology in order to optimize locality of task assignments on parallel computers. It provides three key functions: allocating exclusive and/or non-exclusive access to resources (computer nodes) to users for some duration of time so they can perform work, providing a framework for starting, executing, and monitoring work, typically a parallel job such as Message Passing Interface (MPI) on a set of allocated nodes, and arbitrating contention for resources by managing a queue of pending jobs.
Slurm may refer to: Slurm Workload Manager, a free and open-source job scheduler for Linux and similar computers, named for the Futurama drink Slurm (Futurama), a fictional soft drink in the Futurama universe
Taiwania 3 (Chinese: 台灣杉三號) is one of the supercomputers made by Taiwan, and also the newest one (August, 2021). It is placed in the National Center for High-performance Computing of NARLabs. There are 50,400 cores in total with 900 nodes, using Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 2.4 GHz CPU (28 Cores/CPU) and using CentOS as Operating System. It is an open access for public supercomputer. It is currently open access to scientists and more to do specific research after getting permission from Taiwan's National Center for High-performance Computing. This is the third supercomputer of the Taiwania series. It uses CentOS x86_64 7.8 as its system operator and Slurm Workload Manager as workflow manager to ensure better performance. Taiwania 3 uses InfiniBand HDR100 100 Gbit/s high speed Internet connection to ensure better performance of the supercomputer. The main memory capability is 192 GB. There's currently two Intel Xeon Platinum 8280 2.4 GHz CPU (28 Cores/CPU) inside each node. The full calculation capability is 2.7PFLOPS. It is launched into operation in November 2020 before schedule due to the needed for COVID-19. It is currently ranked number 227 on Top 500 list of June, 2021 and number 80 on Green 500 list. It is manufactured by Quanta Computer, Taiwan Fixed Network, and ASUS Cloud.

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
