The controller generally shouldn't require much, but if you're running
Linux, be aware that the way memory use is measured in recent kernels
makes it look like slurmctld is using a lot of RAM when multiple threads
are active. I had to up the per-process limit to 10G on our CentOS 6.5
controller nodes, even though slurmctld was using less than 1G in reality.

Hi,
We are looking at using SLURM for a large 6000 node cluster and need
more info on the support systems. Can you point me to a sizing guide
or info on the requirements for the primary and backup controllers for
SLURM including CPU, memory and local disk requirements?
Thx,
Louis
