I think they are basically talking about using Slurm as a way to schedule time on a data transfer node, or at least that’s what I’ve seen previously. You will still need a software package like rsync or one of its relatives/parallel derivatives, but Slurm would be a way to schedule the time and bandwidth fairly.

I am not sure of this works as I could not find much online. Otherwise apart from globus and rsync, what would you suggest as a tool/command to copy files from on a cluster between NFS and GPFS?
