Hi Unity Users! This week’s digest includes new documentation, important information about job submissions, and a reminder about upcoming events.
🚨 Important: Specify number of nodes or add MPI constraint when requesting more than one GPU
Starting this week, you will need to explicitly specify the number of nodes or add the MPI constraint when requesting more than one GPU in your job submission. To do this, either specify --nodes=<number> or --constraint=mpi when submitting your job. If you don’t include one of these options, your job will return an error message.
💡New documentation on installing PyTorch
We’ve added a new guide on how to install PyTorch on Unity, under the Tools & Software section of our documentation.
