I am a newbie at the Slurm setup but if by reservable you also mean a consumable resource I am able to request gpus and I have Slurm 20.02.1 and cuda 10.2.  I just set this up within the last month.

Hi All,

Can anyone confirm that GPU is still not a reservable resource? It doesn't seem to be possible still in 19.05.6. I haven't tried 20.02 series.

Best,
Chris

    This looks like the bug that was referred to previously.

    https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fbugs.schedmd.com%2Fshow_bug.cgi%3Fid%3D5771&data=02%7C01%7Clweihl%40bgsu.edu%7C6a5b061127d941c3cd3a08d7fc2c3dc2%7Ccdcb729d51064d7cb75ba30c455d5b0a%7C1%7C0%7C637255139257284802&sdata=PGpqiUJjqYQNhubSqQIyPHXHAg9RIRK7%2FVZdbc0dfAw%3D&reserved=0

    Although looking at the manual page for scontrol in the current master it only says:

           TRES=<tres_spec>
                  Comma-separated list of TRES required for the reservation. Current
                  supported TRES types with reservations are: CPU, Node, License and
                  BB.

    But it's early days yet for that release..

    All the best,
    Chris
