+# K4 Job Scheduling
-# Background
 Parallel computers are operated differently than a normal PC, all users must share the system.
 Therefore, various operative procedures are in place. Users must understand these concepts and procedures to be able to use the available resources of a system to run a parallel application.

-# Aim
+## Learning Outcomes
-  * To enable practitioners to comprehend and describe the basic architecture and concepts of resource allocation for an HPC system
-  * To provide knowledge about how workload managers control the unattended background execution of programs or jobs, respectively, by the help of job queues
+* Comprehend the princimples of Job scheduling and why program managing the jobs are required.
-  * To provide knowledge about typical scheduling principles (e.g. first come first served, shortest job first) to achieve objectives like minimizing the averaged elapsed program runtimes, and maximizing the utilization of the available HPC resources
+* Demonstrate the SLURM workload manager.
+* Discuss different Scheduling strategies.
