[Core feature] Slurm agent #5634

Open BerndDoser opened 1 month ago

BerndDoser commented 1 month ago

Motivation: Why do you think this is important?

Slurm is a widely used workload management system in many HPC (High-Performance Computing) compute clusters. It plays a vital role in efficiently allocating compute resources, running work on these allocated resources, and overseeing a queue of pending work.

Integrating Slurm with Flyte presents a strategic opportunity to greatly enhance the utilization of Flyte workflows on HPC clusters, providing many advantages.

Goal: What should the final outcome look like, ideally?

The aim is the implementation of a Flyte agent that facilitates task submission to HPC resources using the Slurm scheduler.

Typically, users interact with Slurm through its command-line interface (CLI). For instance, the sbatch command submits a job script for later execution. An optional Slurm daemon also offers a REST API for interacting with the Slurm system.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I don't know of anything comparable.

Propose: Link/Inline OR Additional context

I am available to offer support using Slurm and to test the Flyte agent. https://github.com/JBris/slurm-rest-api-docker can be used for testing the Slurm CLI and the Slurm REST API.

To integrate Slurm with Flyte, you can create a Flyte agent that interacts with the Slurm scheduler using its REST API. This approach leverages Flyte's extensibility and allows for efficient task submission to HPC resources managed by Slurm.

@BerndDoser , would this be something that you'd be interested to collaborate? The guide on how to develop a new agent has a lot of details, including how to develop agents locally (so that the dev cycle is tight).

Hi @eapolinario, thank you for your interest in the feature request. I am generally interested in collaborating. For example, I can set up a Slurm container to test such a feature. I am currently on vacation but will be back at the beginning of September.
