[slurm-users] Hybrid compiling options

[dean.w.schulze at gmail.com]

There are GPU plugins that won't be built unless you build on a node that has the Nvidia drivers installed.

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.
