slurmscope — Rust implementation (pre-release)

This is a development pre-release of slurmscope, the live terminal dashboard for Slurm clusters, reimplemented in Rust. The stable, recommended version remains the Python one:

pip install slurmscope              # stable Python version (1.4.x)

pip never installs this pre-release unless you ask for it explicitly.

Install

Side by side with the stable version (recommended while it is in development), with pipx:

pipx install slurmscope                                   # Python, command `slurmscope`
pipx install --suffix=-rs "slurmscope==2.0.0.dev1"        # Rust,   command `slurmscope-rs`

Or in a dedicated environment:

pip install "slurmscope==2.0.0.dev1"

Wheels are provided for Linux x86_64 (glibc ≥ 2.17). On other platforms pip builds from the source distribution, which needs a Rust toolchain (cargo).

Usage

The same views, keys and options as the Python version; it needs the Slurm client commands (squeue, scontrol) in PATH, typically on a login node:

slurmscope                 # interactive dashboard
slurmscope --once --page 2 # one snapshot of the jobs page
slurmscope --help

The Rust and Python versions are protocol-compatible: they share the per-login-node collector, its snapshots and cache files, so they can run side by side on the same login node.

Status

Compared with the Python version by differential tests (function-level fuzzing, the App driven event by event, real-process scenarios and byte-for-byte --once output); the documented differences and the checks that could not be performed are listed in rust/README.md. These tests do not prove equivalence on every input or environment: please report problems at https://github.com/FabioBozzoli/slurmscope/issues.
