Missing documentation on how to use the launcher with GPU programs such that each job runs on a different GPU?

[mauriciogtec]

Is there any documentation/examples on how to use the launcher with a GPU Tensorflow or Pytorch program correctly? Specifically, is it possible to use the launcher such that each job is assigned a different GPU of a multi-GPU node? Something like --gpus-per-task 1.

I have developed a different application named launcher_gpu (based on launcher) to make it work for GPU resources.

If you are working on the Frontera machine, you can use it with its module as: module load launcher_gpu

Greetings, siliu-tacc,

Is your application launcher_gpu available, or has it been incorporated into launcher? We have a TACC user at UT M. D. Anderson who would like to have that capability on our HPC cluster.

Hello,

Please use the alternate TACC package pylauncher for gpu applications:
