Flux Framework

Flux Framework
This is something I'm really excited about for #FluxFramework! Have you ever thought about the implications of your flag choices for binding? I made a little tool today (WIP) that can detect (and then predict) topology (binding) down to PU.
For folks familiar with #SLURM - we are looking for a way to validate SBATCH directives. Slurm has --test-only but it does validation for flags *and* against a cluster, and they seem tied. In #FluxFramework we can validate directives (via a directive parser) separately from resources (feasibility plugin). Thanks for the help!

If you missed the #FluxFramework workshop or talk at #HPCK25, everything is posted online! Specifically:

πŸ₯‘ Flux Framework Workshop: https://hpckp.org/talks/flux-next-generation-workload-management-for-high-performance-computing-and-cloud/
