Luxury Wines and Spirits represent a distinctive part of the beverage world, shaped by tradition, craftsmanship, regional identity, and evolving consumer preferences. These beverages are often associated with special occasions, fine dining, cultural celebrations, and collecting. Their appeal extends beyond taste, reflecting the history, production methods, and expertise involved in creating distinctive products. Luxury wines are generally produced using carefully selected grape varieties and specialized winemaking techniques. Factors such as climate, soil composition, vineyard location, grape maturity, and aging conditions influence their aroma, flavor, and texture. Certain wine-producing regions have developed international recognition through generations of expertise and established production traditions. Vintage variations and limited production can also contribute to differences in quality, character, and perceived value. The luxury spirits category includes products such as whisky, cognac, rum, tequila, and premium gin. Their characteristics depend on ingredients, distillation processes, maturation periods, and blending techniques. For example, barrel aging can introduce complex aromas and flavors, while the origin of ingredients and the methods used by distillers help distinguish one spirit from another. Packaging, heritage, and production history may also influence how consumers perceive these beverages. Consumer interest in luxury wines and spirits is influenced by several factors, including culinary experiences, cultural traditions, gifting practices, and interest in premium craftsmanship. Some consumers explore these beverages to understand regional varieties and production techniques, while others value their connection to social occasions and personal collections. At the same time, changing lifestyle preferences have encouraged greater attention to responsible consumption, product transparency, and sustainability. Digital platforms have also changed how people discover and learn about luxury beverages. Online resources provide information about grape varieties, distilleries, tasting characteristics, and regional traditions, helping consumers make more informed choices. Overall, luxury wines and spirits combine agricultural expertise, technical knowledge, and cultural heritage.

Re: Jobs not getting assigned the requested GPU card
by Dj Merrill 21 Oct '26

21 Oct '26

Hi Brian, Thank you for the input! I find this weird and interesting. For the past several years we have gone by the output of nvidia-smi -L to assign the GPUs in the gres.conf, and that's always worked. We also tried removing the fixed settings and tried both AutoDetect=nvml and AutoDetect=nvidia in the gres.conf and neither of those worked properly either. As you surmised, the minor does not match the ID: # for i in 0 1 2 3 4; do echo "ID: $i"; nvidia-smi -q -i $i | grep "Minor Number"; done ID: 0 Minor Number : 4 ID: 1 Minor Number : 3 ID: 2 Minor Number : 2 ID: 3 Minor Number : 0 ID: 4 Minor Number : 1 Interestingly, every time I reboot, I get a different result for the minor number, but the output of "nvidia-smi -L" always stays the same: # for i in 0 1 2 3 4; do echo "ID: $i"; nvidia-smi -q -i $i | grep "Minor Number"; done ID: 0 Minor Number : 1 ID: 1 Minor Number : 2 ID: 2 Minor Number : 3 ID: 3 Minor Number : 0 ID: 4 Minor Number : 4 # for i in 0 1 2 3 4; do echo "ID: $i"; nvidia-smi -q -i $i | grep "Minor Number"; done ID: 0 Minor Number : 2 ID: 1 Minor Number : 4 ID: 2 Minor Number : 3 ID: 3 Minor Number : 1 ID: 4 Minor Number : 0 # nvidia-smi -L GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 (UUID: GPU-a17203cf-e03e-9bc8-237a-44302a1275e8) GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (UUID: GPU-cbe1156c-02a6-f112-7190-97a0b312e6bd) GPU 2: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (UUID: GPU-f997bc4f-a808-7edf-5a09-fc4b2f638595) GPU 3: NVIDIA A100 80GB PCIe (UUID: GPU-418da940-1928-71e6-fa74-8889e551d850) GPU 4: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (UUID: GPU-6a11cc78-b0ab-cfa6-a6a0-cc5b220512b3) # nvidia-smi topo -m GPU0 GPU1 GPU2 GPU3 GPU4 NIC0 CPU Affinity NUMA Affinity GPU NUMA ID GPU0 X PIX PIX NODE NODE NODE 0-7 0 N/A GPU1 PIX X PIX NODE NODE NODE 0-7 0 N/A GPU2 PIX PIX X NODE NODE NODE 0-7 0 N/A GPU3 NODE NODE NODE X PIX PIX 0-7 0 N/A GPU4 NODE NODE NODE PIX X PIX 0-7 0 N/A NIC0 NODE NODE NODE PIX PIX X I'm wondering if something changed in the recent nvidia driver / CUDA that was installed a few days ago. -Dj On 10/15/26 19:14, Brian Haymore wrote: > The device number that 'nvidia-smi' shows for the GPUs, 0, 1, 2, 3, > and 4, are not certain to map to /dev/nvidia$X. > > Could you run ' for i in 0 1 2 3 4; do echo "ID: $i"; nvidia-smi -q -i > $i | grep "Minor Number"'; done > > If each matches then what I'm asking about is not the issue.

Jobs not getting assigned the requested GPU card
by Dj Merrill 19 Oct '26

19 Oct '26

We have a Slurm Cluster that has been working fine for many years. A few months ago it was upgraded to Slurm version 25.11.65, and has been working properly running that version. The systems are running Rocky Linux 9.8 and are patched/updated on a regular basis. They are currently running CUDA 13.4 with Nvidia driver 615.71.09 installed via dnf from Nvidia's repo. Today it was reported that jobs are not getting assigned the GPU card they requested, so for example they may request a 5090 card but are assigned an A100 card. This was working fine, so we are struggling to figure out what has changed to cause this behaviour. We have a node with 5 GPU cards, of three types: % nvidia-smi -L GPU 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 (UUID: GPU-8efff06f-af9c-4598-420f-fcbb5b8af9f6) GPU 1: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (UUID: GPU-1d473ffd-d18c-e1f6-c492-02f4d702fd94) GPU 2: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (UUID: GPU-aed53cd7-6a97-c62d-e825-bc5be78be5ae) GPU 3: NVIDIA A100 80GB PCIe (UUID: GPU-c6be57f5-376d-2d06-d58b-20924b4296e7) GPU 4: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 (UUID: GPU-3f7e5512-c25b-6dac-cbfa-2a7b95267094) /etc/slurm/gres.conf matches the above output (and has been this way for years): % cat /etc/slurm/gres.conf Name=gpu Type=rtx5090 File=/dev/nvidia0 Name=gpu Type=rtx3080 File=/dev/nvidia1 Name=gpu Type=rtx3080 File=/dev/nvidia2 Name=gpu Type=a100 File=/dev/nvidia3 Name=gpu Type=rtx3080 File=/dev/nvidia4 The /etc/slurm/slurm.conf entry for this node is the same as it has been for years: NodeName=moose[63] CPUs=16 RealMemory=380000 Gres=gpu:rtx3080:3,gpu:rtx5090:1,gpu:a100:1 Weight=700 When submitting a job such as: $ srun -p gpu --gres=gpu:rtx5090:1 --pty /bin/bash srun: job 71048 queued and waiting for resources srun: job 71048 has been allocated resources $ nvidia-smi -L GPU 0: NVIDIA A100 80GB PCIe (UUID: GPU-c6be57f5-376d-2d06-d58b-20924b4296e7) Any suggestions as to where to look?

Making easy and simple security updates of Slurm compute nodes
by Ole Holm Nielsen 15 Oct '26

15 Oct '26

Dear Slurm users, Keeping Slurm compute nodes up-to-date with security updates is an important task, and since security updates are now released with a high frequency, it is desirable to make the updating process as simple and automatic as possible. The tools documented here in [1] offer a possible solution. It's enlightening to browse OS errata pages such as [2] or [3]. The design used in the present approach [1] is: * Configure all compute nodes to execute a crontab job script at every reboot. This script will usually do nothing, except in case the node has a Slurm "State=down" where it will perform the configured updates. * Making updates simply consists of rebooting compute node lists with the command "scontrol reboot asap nextstate=down <node-list>". Here we have employed (abused?) the Slurm "State=down" as a *trigger* telling the update script to perform some actions. Nodes with a "Reason=Node unexpectedly rebooted" are assumed to be unrelated to the present update system and will therefore be skipped. The page [1] gives details of configuration and the optional handling of mixed-state nodes. We have tested these tools on our 700-node cluster running RockyLinux 8 and 9 for some time now, and they work reliably in our environment when updating several times per week. I would welcome any comments or bug reports regarding these tools. Best regards, Ole [1] https://github.com/OleHolmNielsen/Slurm_tools/tree/master/nodes#compute-nod… [2] RockyLinux errata: https://errata.build.resf.org/ [3] AlmaLinux errata: https://errata.almalinux.org/ -- Ole Holm Nielsen PhD, Senior HPC Officer Department of Physics, Technical University of Denmark
