AWS Cloud GPU Cluster

AWS Cluster Specific Setup

  1. Unlike many SLURM environments, which are on-prem physical nodes, in the Central GPU - AWS Cluster, the nodes are VM instances that are dynamically provisioned / de-provisioned (aka spun up/down).
  2. Partitions (and thus nodes) are not shared between Labs. This means that the typical Fairshare sorting of jobs does not apply, and you are not in competition with other labs for resources.
  3. The number and type of nodes are not fixed. Upon request and approval by your PI Sponsor, we can add additional partitions and instance types for your Lab.
