I have a standalone server with 4 GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. The purpose is to serve as a computer server for data science jobs. My department chair wants a job scheduler on it. I have installed SLURM (18.08.9). That works just fine in a basic configuration when
I attempt to add Gres_Types gpu and then add Gres:gpu:4 to the end of the node description:</div>

I usually keep notes when I'm installing things but in this case I wasn't jotting things down as I went. I think I started with the instructions on this page: <a href="https://slurm.schedmd.com/quickstart_admin.html">https://slurm.schedmd.com/quickstart_admin.html</a> and
went with the usual ./configure, make, make install.</div>

I have a feeling maybe something did not work and I switched to the rpm packages based on some other web pages I saw because if I do a yum list installed | grep slurm I see a lot of pacakages. The problem is I was interrupted with other tasks and my memory
was somewhat rusty when I came back to this.</div>

When I went looking for this error I saw there were some issues with the newest SLURM and CUDA 10.2 but I didn't think that should be an issue because I was at CUDA 8.0. Just in case I backed down to SLURM 18.</div>

I'm willing to start all over if anyone thinks cleaning up and rebuilding will help that. I do see libraries in /etc/lib64/slurm but I also see 2 files in /usr/local/lib/slurm/src so I'm not sure if that's left over from trying to install from source. All
the daemons are in /usr/sbin and user commands in /usr/bin</div>
