work continues with Rod Walker on overlay batch system for NERSC.  Next to test scaling up to 10's of nodes then to 50 nodes, then 100 nodes.

Received information from NERSC on how to release nodes from a slurm job. This will require additional coding in the wrapper and changing the way the SLURM srun command is used.  (ie multiple srun commands one per node - not really scalable above 100 nodes) and a monitoring loop with a 1-5 minute sleep
