Description

Summary: Let's update our HPC docs with the GPU changes that @DelilahYM sent out to HPC users, below. Just adding this issue to remind us to do this, and so we can discuss these proposed changes.

Here are a few places we could change:

  • On this link, "copy" is spelled incorrectly as "cope" and we should call out the constraints here, as this is the first time users see the GPU in the docs.

GPU changes that Delilah sent out, for reference:

Here are the important changes GPU users need to be aware and make adjustment in SLURM job scripts or commands:

Starting May 1st, 2025:

    “gpu” partition users need to request A100 gpus with constraints specified.
        --gres=gpu:a100:1 --constraint=”a100-80G” (for one A100-80GB GPU)
        --gres=gpu:a100:1 --constraint=”a100-40G” (for one A100-40GB GPU)
        --gres=gpu:a100:1 (for one of any A100s)
