[slurm-users] Getting nodes in a partition

[Brian Andrus]

I saw you got some good answers, but a quick note on mpi. For some of 
them, you are compiling it yourself, they can be "slurm-aware" (eg: 
openmpi). Then when you do 'mpirun' it automatically knows your 
inherited hostlist and you need do nothing extra when running.
