 SGE is typically used on a computer farm or high-performance computing (HPC) cluster and is responsible for **accepting, scheduling, dispatching, and managing the remote and distributed execution of large numbers of standalone, parallel or interactive user jobs**. It also manages and schedules the allocation of distributed resources such as processors, memory, disk space, and software licenses. SGE is typically used on a computer farm or high-performance computing (HPC) cluster and is responsible for **accepting, scheduling, dispatching, and managing the remote and distributed execution of large numbers of standalone, parallel or interactive user jobs**.

 SLURM is an open-source resource manager designed for Linux clusters of all sizes. It provides three key functions. First it allocates exclusive and/or non-exclusive access to resources (computer nodes) to users for some duration of time so they can perform work. Second, it provides a framework for starting, executing, and monitoring work (typically a parallel job) on a set of allocated nodes. Finally, it arbitrates contention for resources by managing a queue of pending work.  SLURM is an open-source resource manager designed for Linux clusters of all sizes.
