Slurm

After installing Slurm and starting Transformer Lab, follow these steps to add it as a compute provider.

Add Slurm in Team Settings

1. Open Team Settings by clicking your username in the sidebar.
2. Go to Compute Providers.
3. Click Add Compute Provider.
4. In the modal:
   • Set Type to slurm.
   • Give the provider a name (e.g. slurm-prov).
   • Fill in the Connection mode, SSH Host, Slurm User ID, SSH Port, and SSH Key Path (optional) fields.
5. Click Add Compute Provider.

You can also add the provider via the CLI with lab provider add.

Run health check

After the provider is listed in Team Settings:

1. Find your Slurm provider in Compute Providers.
2. Click the "Check provider status" icon (heartbeat) next to your Slurm provider in the status column.
3. Confirm the provider reports healthy/connected.

Set up per-user credentials

After the Slurm compute provider is configured, each user needs to set up their individual credentials:

1. Navigate to User Settings → Provider Settings and configure your Slurm user ID. This account will be used to submit jobs to the Slurm cluster.
2. If you don't already have an SSH key pair, generate one:

   ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "your_email@example.com"

3. Add your public key (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the Slurm login node for your user account.
4. In the Provider Settings dialog, paste the contents of your private key (~/.ssh/id_rsa). Transformer Lab will use this key to authenticate and connect to your Slurm account.
