WORK IN PROGRESS
Use Docker to explore the various components of Slurm
This work represents a small exploratory Slurm cluster using CentOS 7 based Docker images. The intent was to learn the basics of Slurm prior to extending the concept to a more distributed environment.
Images include:
- Slurm 19.05.1 - installed from rpm packages
- OpenMPI 3.0.1 - installed from rpm packages
- Lmod 7.7 - installed from distribution files
- Lmod module packages for CentOS 7 - Organized for Slurm-in-Docker use
- Using Lmod with Slurm-in-Docker documentation
- packages - Build the RPM packages for running Slurm and OpenMPI on CentOS 7
- base - Slurm base image from which other components are derived
- controller - Slurm controller (head-node) definition
- database - Slurm database definition (not necessary, but useful for accounting information)
- worker - Slurm worker (compute-node) definition
An example docker-compose.yml file is provided that builds and deploys the diagramed topology
Listing of participating containers with FQDNs and their function within the cluster.
| Container | Function | FQDN |
|---|---|---|
| controller | Slurm Primary Controller | controller.local.dev |
| database | Slurm Primary Database Daemon | database.local.dev |
| worker01 | Slurm Worker | worker01.local.dev |
| worker02 | Slurm Worker | worker02.local.dev |
Users may use the default slurm.conf file generated in docker-entrypoint.sh, or preferably create one to better fit their system.
The Slurm Configuration Tool is a useful resource for creating custom slurm.conf files.
Steps to add user profided slurm.conf/slurmdbd.conf:
- Create
home/configandsecretdirectories:
mkdir -p home/config secret
- Copy configuration files to the
home/configdirectory:
cp <user-provided-slurm.conf> home/config/slurm.conf; cp <user-provided-slurmdbd.conf> home/config/slurmdbd.conf
The user can then proceed as normal.
TODO: Have software check validity of custom configuration files.
Build the slurm RPM files by following the instructions in the packages directory.
Create the base Slurm image:
Copy the packages/centos-7/rpms directory to the base directory
cd base/
cp -r ../packages/centos-7/rpms .
Build the base image
docker build -t scidas/slurm.base:19.05.1 .
Verify image build
$ docker images
REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE
scidas/slurm.base 19.05.1 1600621cb483 Less than a second ago 819MB
...
All images defined in docker-compose.yml will be built from the scidas/slurm.base:19.05.1 base image
An example docker-compose.yml file is provided that builds and deploys the diagramed topology (-d is used to daemonize the call).
docker-compose up -d
Four containers should be observed running when completed
$ docker ps

Each step of this teardown may also be run individually:
The containers can be stopped and removed using docker-compose

Stopping database ... done
Stopping worker02 ... done

$ docker-compose rm -f

Slurm workload manager: https://www.schedmd.com/index.php
- Slurm is a highly configurable open-source workload manager. In its simplest configuration, it can be installed and configured in a few minutes (see Caos NSA and Perceus: All-in-one Cluster Software Stack by Jeffrey B. Layton). Use of optional plugins provides the functionality needed to satisfy the needs of demanding HPC centers. More complex configurations rely upon a database for archiving accounting records, managing resource limits by user or bank account, and supporting sophisticated scheduling algorithms.
Docker: https://www.docker.com
- Docker is the company driving the container movement and the only container platform provider to address every application across the hybrid cloud. Today’s businesses are under pressure to digitally transform but are constrained by existing applications and infrastructure while rationalizing an increasingly diverse portfolio of clouds, datacenters and application architectures. Docker enables true independence between applications and infrastructure and developers and IT ops to unlock their potential and creates a model for better collaboration and innovation.
OpenMPI: https://www.open-mpi.org
- The Open MPI Project is an open source Message Passing Interface implementation that is developed and maintained by a consortium of academic, research, and industry partners. Open MPI is therefore able to combine the expertise, technologies, and resources from all across the High Performance Computing community in order to build the best MPI library available. Open MPI offers advantages for system and software vendors, application developers and computer science researchers.
Lmod: http://lmod.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
- Lmod is a Lua based module system that easily handles the MODULEPATH Hierarchical problem. Environment Modules provide a convenient way to dynamically change the users’ environment through modulefiles. This includes easily adding or removing directories to the PATH environment variable. Modulefiles for Library packages provide environment variables that specify where the library and header files can be found.
