I see, so it's limited to HPC contexts? I'm just surprised that as a data engineer, I've never seen it in real life.

Definitely! I was in academia for ten years and SLURM is everywhere. It's free! Now outside academia, SLURM is nowhere. AWS and Slowflake are king.

Do you mean outside of academia _and_ HPC? Industry HPC clusters using slurm are quite common.

Both of my last two companies used Slurm. Probably just comes down to if the company maintains its own internal compute cluster.
