Chatgpt read our slack history on lanka and suggested the following additions. are any of them worth adding?

Lanka Cluster Usage Summary

Access and Permissions

• Access to lanka-dgx0 and lanka-v3 requires permissions. Contact Ajay for access.
• Docker is available on the machines, but usage on compute nodes may require confirmation from TIG.

Turbo Boost

• Turbo Boost has been disabled on all nodes to reduce timing inconsistencies and performance variability. This setting should remain off by default. Check with cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/intel_pstate/no_turbo (should return 1).

GitHub Actions and Testing

• GitHub actions can launch Slurm jobs for testing, provided Docker can be used on compute nodes.

Docker Usage

• Docker is present but verify if it's operational on compute nodes for specific requirements.

Software Installation and Environment Issues

• Users have encountered issues with compiler/build-essentials. Fixes have been applied to address these issues.
• If software requires newer versions or specific settings, contact Ajay or use the shared directories for installations that can benefit all users.

File Storage and Home Directory Management

• Users should manage their files efficiently to avoid filling up the home directory on lanka-dgx0, which has limited space. Cleanup or move files to NFS or /data if not actively used.

Updates and Maintenance

• Lanka nodes have been updated and migrated to a new Ubuntu version. Ensure compatibility of your software.
• The cluster has been transitioned to a lab-wide Slurm queue. New commands and partitions may apply.

Performance Counting and Benchmarks

• Performance counting may require specific permissions or settings adjustments. Discuss needs with Ajay for solutions.

General Best Practices

• Use numactl for managing thread allocation if encountering performance issues.
• Regularly check and clean up your workspace to avoid unnecessary storage consumption.
• For any new software needs or environmental issues, communicate with Ajay or the system administrators for support.
