Using GPUs on Saga

Dear IN5550 students,

Now, as you are working on the obligatory assignment 3, we  remind that you don't need GPUs for your IN5550 assignments. It is technically possible for you to run jobs on Saga GPU nodes, but this is not really necessary: especially given that GPU-accelerated nodes are scarce resource and must be consumed with great care. Many other UiO researchers are waiting in queues to use them.

The IN5550 datasets are small enough for training to be done on regular CPU nodes (and Saga has lots of them). Thus, in general we ask you to not submit GPU jobs in relation to your IN5550 class.

Thank you for your understanding. If you still have any questions concerning Saga or anything, we will always be happy to answer them via e-mail or Piazza.
