Remote SLURM GPU cluster execution over SSH with sbatch/srun, Pyxis/Enroot containers, and Lustre-backed results. Use when running GPU training, evaluation, or inference jobs on an on-prem or DGX SLURM cluster.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# NVIDIA `tao-run-on-slurm` — SLURM GPU Cluster Execution over SSH

Remote GPU compute skill for clusters managed by **SLURM** (`https://github.com/NVIDIA/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/tao-run-on-slurm`). Jobs are staged from your local machine to a login node over SSH, submitted with `sbatch`, and monitored via `squeue` / `sacct` / `scancel` (with optional Pyxis/Enroot `.sqsh` container execution).

## 1. Preflight + SSH

1. Confirm passwordless SSH (`ssh -o BatchMode=yes`) to the SLURM login host works (or configure the host in **Dashboard → SSH & Clusters**).
2. The launch machine only needs `ssh` (and `ssh.exec` / `ssh.slurm_status` / `ssh.sync`); `sbatch`, `srun`, `squeue`, `sacct`, and shared storage (`/scratch` or Lustre) live on the remote SLURM cluster.
3. For private `nvcr.io` images with Pyxis/Enroot, install `~/.config/enroot/.credentials` on the cluster via a mode-600 stdin pipe rather than inline environment variables.

## 2. The Four Core Verbs (`submit`, `status`, `logs`, `cancel`)

### `submit`
1. **Stage inputs and scripts to the shared cluster workspace** (`ssh.sync` or `rsync -az` to `/scratch/$USER/<job_dir>`).

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add fastfold-ai/sandwalk/tao-run-on-slurm@sha256:a050f5fa0dbdd700

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
