LRM

LRM is an acronym that can denote several concepts in different fields. Because meanings vary by domain, the exact interpretation is usually clarified by surrounding terms such as missiles, computing, or information management.

In military and defense contexts, LRM commonly stands for long-range missile. This term covers guided weapons designed for engagement at extended distances, using various propulsion and guidance systems. Long-range missiles may be air-, ship-, or ground-launched and are subject to international treaties, export controls, and strategic considerations related to deterrence and power projection.

In computing, LRM can refer to a Local Resource Manager. A Local Resource Manager is software that schedules jobs, allocates compute resources, and manages queues on a cluster or data center. LRMs coordinate with higher-level workload managers and user interfaces, helping to optimize utilization, fairness, and throughput in shared computing environments.

In information science and language technology, LRM can refer to Library Resource Management, the practice of acquiring, cataloging, preserving, and providing access to library resources; and to Language Resource Management, the management of linguistic resources such as corpora, lexicons, and metadata for research and development. The exact meaning depends on the domain and the terminology used alongside it.
