<a name="scheduler-node-allocation-v3"></a>

ParallelCluster supports Slurm's methods to dynamically scale clusters by using Slurm's power saver plugin. For more information, see the [Cloud Scheduling Guide](https://slurm.schedmd.com/elastic_computing.html) and the [Slurm Power Saving Guide](https://slurm.schedmd.com/power_save.html) in the Slurm documentation. The following topics describe the Slurm strategies for each version.
