Regarding make one up on my own, how does Slurm know string > "xyzzy" corresponds to a tesla gpu, e.g.? As I understand it, Slurm doesn't need to know the correspondence, since all it is doing is counting. If you define a GRES, say, magic:wand you can configure your nodes to have, say, 2 of these. Then if a job requests --gres=magic:wand:1 and starts, a subsequent job which requests --gres=magic:wand:2 will have to wait until the first magic wand become free again. However, Slurm doesn't need to know whether your nodes really do have magic wands, but your users do need to request them, if their jobs require them. To prevent them using a magic wand without requesting one, you have to check the job parameters on submission, which you can do via the job submit plugin.
