Description vicfisher6072 2023-05-03 21:50:09 MDT 
Hello, I am new to SLURM and plan to establish a cluster for academic computation. Unfortunately, I don't have enough budget to bug multiple servers. There will be only 3 servers available to form a small cluster. To fully exploit the resources, I want to consume the head node as a compute node. A solution was found to do this by enabling `slurmd` on the same machine that runs `slurmctld` from "https://serverfault.com/questions/1048279/slurm-with-partial-head-node". 
I don't know whether it works or is there any other better solutions.
Thanks a lot!!!
