Templates

A template is a pre-set configuration that is used to quickly configure and submit workloads using existing assets. A template consists of all the assets a workload needs, allowing researchers to submit a workload in a single click, or make subtle adjustments to differentiate them from each other.

Creating Templates

To create a template:

  5. In the Compute resource pane, select a compute resource. Use the Search compute resources if you do not see your resource listed. Press New compute resource to add a new compute resource to the system. Press More settings to add a node type (node affinity) to the compute resource selected.
