I think reading the documentation is making me more confused; maybe this
has to do with version changes. My current slurm cluster is using
version 17.x
Looking at the man page for gres.conf
(https://slurm.schedmd.com/gres.conf.html) I see this:
NOTE: Slurm support for gres/[mps|shard] requires the use of the
select/cons_tres plugin.
On my current (inherited) Slurm cluster we have:
SelectType=select/cons_res
but users are primarily using GPU resources, so I know Gres is working.
Why then is select/cons_tres required?
