v1.5.0: Hybrid Slurm clusters, Blueprints optimized for NVIDIA GPUs and AMD CPUs, & Bug Fixes

Key New Features

• Support for "hybrid" Slurm partitions (see New Resources below)
• Example blueprints to provision
  • Google Quantum AI circuit simulator optimized for NVIDIA A100 GPUs
  • Slurm cluster using AMD C2D family of VMs and the AMD Optimizing C/C++ compiler
• kind setting for modules defaults to "terraform", the most common value

New Resources

• schedmd-slurm-gcp-v5-hybrid: Experimental module to create cloud-based partitions capable of extending on-premise clusters into Google Cloud.
   

Resource Improvements

• vm-instance: add support for local SSD disks
