[slurm-users] GPU exclusively for one account

[Baldauf, Sebastian Martin]

Hello,

I just want to ask if someone has an idea how to give a GPU and some
CPUs of a node to one account exclusively but keep the remaining CPUs of
this node available for all users.
For me it looks like that using partitions is only working for whole
nodes, while with reservation it is not possible to reserve a gpu.
Our slurm version here is 17.11.5

Best regards,
 Sebastian Baldauf

You probably want to upgrade Slurm to 20.11 or 20.02 because of much
improved GPU support in later versions.

Upgrading Slurm must be done in steps of 2 releases, see
