[slurm-users] GPU jobs not running correctly

...and I'm not sure what "AutoDetect=NVML" is supposed to do in the
gres.conf file. We've always used "nvidia-smi topo -m" to confirm that
we've got a single-root or dual-root node and have entered the correct info
in gres.conf to map connections to the CPU sockets...., e.g.:

# 8-gpu A6000 nodes - dual-root
NodeName=gpu[1504-1506] Name=gpu Type=a6000 File=/dev/nvidia[0-3] CPUs=0-23
NodeName=gpu[1504-1506] Name=gpu Type=a6000 File=/dev/nvidia[4-7] CPUs=24-47
