What problem does it solve?
Streamlines launching and managing GPU-accelerated jobs on the SONIC SLURM cluster, handling environment setup, partition selection, and dataset staging to prevent common mismatches and timeouts.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Provides a clear submission workflow for squeue/sinfo/sbatch by exporting SLURM_CONF before each call.
- Guides partition and GPU architecture choices (e.g., gorgonas and medusas with cu124/cu128/cu130) and recommends dataset staging to fast filesystems.
- Covers environment management and data handling tips, including venv placement and dataset caching strategies to minimize I/O bottlenecks.
Quick Start
Submit your first SLURM job from phocus4 after exporting SLURM_CONF and selecting an idle partition.
