[slurm-users] Hybrid compiling options

[Brian Andrus]

All,

Wanted to reach out for input on how folks compile slurm when you have a 
hybrid cluster.

Scenario:

you have 4 node types:

A) CPU only
B) GPU Only
C) CPU+IB
D) GPU+IB

So, you can compile slurm with/without IB support and/or with/without 
GPU support.
Including either option creates a dependency when packaging (RPM based).

So, do you compile different versions for the different node types or 
install the dependent packages on nodes that have no user (nvidia in 
particular here)?

Generally, I have always added the superfluous packages, but wondered 
what the thoughts on that are.
