Weekly Digest 8/02/24

Hi Unity Users! This week’s edition of the Weekly Digest features new documentation, updated documentation, and an exciting announcement.

New documentation 🎉

• Venv - Virtual environments in Python. This is an overview of virtual environments in Python, including how to create, activate, move, and deactivate an environment, install packages, and submit a slurm job with venv.

Updated documentation ✏️

• SSH Connection documentation was updated to recommend configuring an SSH agent so that you don’t need to enter a password every time you use SSH keys for SSH connections.
• Module usage documentation was updated to suggest using module spider to search for specific software instead of module avail.

Announcements 📢

• We recently added 68 L40S GPUs to Unity! These are speedy, high VRAM GPUs suitable for machine learning. To use them, specify --constraint=l40s in either the gpu or gpu-preempt partitions.
