Scheduling workloads to AWS placement groups

Run:ai supports AWS placement groups when building and submitting a job. AWS Placement Groups are used to maximize throughput and performance of distributed training workloads.

To enable and configure this feature:

  1. Press Jobs | New job.
  2. In Scheduling and lifecycle enable the Topology aware scheduling.
  3. In Topology key, enter the label of the topology of the node.

  4. In Scheduling rule choose Required or Preferred from the drop down.

    • Required—when enabled, all PODs must be scheduled to the same placement group.
    • Preferred—when enabled, this is a best-effort, to place as many PODs on the same placement group.
