Using constraint to request specific GPUs

Gilbreth has heterogeneous hardware comprising of Nvidia V100, A100, A10, and A30 GPUs in separate sub-clusters. You can run sfeatures to check the specifications of different Gilbreth nodes:

To run your jobs in specific nodes, you can use -C, --constraint to specify the features. Below are a few examples:

#SBATCH --constraint 'E|F'   ## request E or F nodes
#SBATCH --constraint A100    ## request A100 GPU
#SBATCH -C  "v100|p100|a30"  ## request v100, p100 or a30
