What this skill does
Launcher Configuration NeMo AutoModel supports three launch methods: interactive (torchrun), Slurm (HPC clusters), and SkyPilot (cloud-agnostic). Instructions For launcher questions, answer directly from this skill without inspecting the repository unless the user asks you to edit files. Keep the answer focused on the relevant launch YAML, required fields, and the expected runtime behavior. Use these compact answer patterns for common questions: Slurm multi-node: show a slurm: YAML block with jobname, nodes, ntaskspernode, time, account or partition, containerimage, hfhome, optional extramounts, envvars, and masterport; explain that the launcher derives WORLDSIZE = nodes ntaskspernode and sets MASTERADDR and MASTERPORT. SkyPilot spot: show a skypilot: YAML block with cloud, accelerators, numnodes, usespot: true, disksize, region, setup, and envvars; warn that spot instances can be preempted, set a short stepscheduler.checkpointinterval, and resume with restorefrom.path. Nsight Systems on Slurm: show slurm.nsysenabled: true alongside normal Slurm fields, say the launcher wraps the training command with nsys profile, and state that it produces a .nsys-rep report file. Treat profiling as diagnostic-only: use short profiling runs and disable it for normal production training because it adds overhead and large artifacts. For Slurm answers, start with this minimal template and then adjust only the fields the user asked about: For Slurm-only questions, do not discuss SkyPilot or profiling unless the user asks. For profiling questions, say the .nsys-rep report is written in the Slurm job working or output directory, using the launcher's Nsys output setting when one is configured. Routing Boundary Use this skill only for launch mechanics: interactive execution, Slurm, SkyPilot, containers, mounts, environment variables, rendezvous settings, and profiling. …
