A great deal depends upon your hardware and configuration. Slurm
should be able to handle a few hundred jobs per soecond when tuned for
high throughput as described here:
http://slurm.schedmd.com/high_throughput.html
If not tuned for high throughput, say with lots of logging, running on
a virtual machine, etc. then the slurmctld daemon will definitely bog
down. What sort of throughput were you seeing? Did the jobs just exit
right away?

Quoting Paul Edmon <[email protected]>:
So I've found that if some one submits a ton of jobs that have a
very short runtime slurm tends to trash as jobs are launching and
exiting pretty much constantly. Is there an easy way to enforce a
minimum runtime?
