Development GPUs
AImageLab provides development GPUs that can be used via remote debugging. Hosts containing development GPUs replicate the same configuration of all aimagelab-srv nodes.
Access to development GPUs
All AImageLab-SRV users can access the development GPUs. The development resources are managed by SLURM, within the partition all_serial. To access them, you always need to specify one account. To get the list of accounts assigned to your username, run the susage command.
Use from shell
⚠️ Warning : It is forbidden to access GPUs and/or use heavy resources on login nodes without going through the SLURM scheduler.
To get a shell with a development GPU, use the following command from the login node or a development node:
srun --partition=all_serial --account=<account> --gres=gpu:1 --pty bash
Use from IDEs
