Resource providers allow Parsl to gain access to computing power.
For supercomputers, gaining resources often requires requesting them from a scheduler (e.g., Slurm).
Parsl Providers write the requests to requisition **"Blocks"** (e.g., supercomputer nodes) on your behalf.
Parsl Providers manage the process of requesting **"Blocks"** on your behalf, which, in the context of Slurm,
are equivalent to separate Slurm allocations. Each **"Block"** represents an individual allocation of resources,
such as supercomputer nodes.
Parsl comes pre-packaged with Providers compatible with most supercomputers and some cloud computing services.

Another key role of Providers is defining how to start an Executor on a remote computer.
