If sinfo doesn't show what you want, perhaps you can try installing my 
"pestat" command from 
https://github.com/OleHolmNielsen/Slurm_tools/tree/master/pestat

The pestat can display very many job and node properties, see "pestat 
-h".  To display GPU resources available and used, try this one:

$ pestat -t mix -G
Select only nodes with state=mix
GRES (Generic Resource) is printed after each jobid
Hostname       Partition     Node Num_CPU  CPUload  Memsize  Freemem 
GRES/node     Joblist
                             State Use/Tot  (15min)     (MB)     (MB) 
              JobID(JobArrayID) User GRES/job ...
     s002          sm3090      mix  64  80    8.15*   191000   156548

Again, the Maui command "showbf -S" is undocumented!  Do you have 
documentation for it?
