[slurm-users] User-facing documentation on shard use

Hello list, We have just enabled "gres/shard" in order to enable sharing of GPUs on our cluster. I am now looking for examples of user-facing documentation on this feature. If anyone has something, and can send a URL or other example, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Will -- slurm-users mailing li

[slurm-users] Re: GPU shards not exclusive

Hi Reed, Unfortunately, we had the same issue with 22.05.9; SchedMD advice was to upgrade to 23.11.x, and this appears to have resolved this issue for us. SchedMD support said to us, "We did a lot of work regarding shards in the 23.11 release." HTH, Will -- slurm-users mailing list -- slurm-

Can I ask if this replaces the work on "SUNK" that was previously announced? (but never released as open-source on GitHub as was planned; looks like it is only available on CoreWeave Cloud?) -- slurm-users mailing list -- slurm-users@lists.schedmd.com To unsubscribe send an email to slurm-users

[slurm-users] How to select a container runtime system?

We are getting a few calls to support container workloads on our Slurm cluster; I want to support these user's usecases, so am looking into it now. The problem for me is, I'm not super-familiar with container runtimes excepting (regular rootful) Docker... I see that any Slurm-compatible runtime
