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

[tpdownes]

Key New Features

• Support for "hybrid" Slurm partitions (see New Resources below)
• Example blueprints to provision
  • Google Quantum AI [circuit simulator][qsim] optimized for NVIDIA A100 GPUs
  • Slurm cluster using AMD C2D family of VMs and the [AMD Optimizing C/C++ compiler][AOCC]
• kind setting for modules defaults to "terraform", the most common value
   
  [AOCC]: https://developer.amd.com/amd-aocc/
  [qsim]: https://quantumai.google/qsim
   

New Resources

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

Resource Improvements

• vm-instance: add support for local SSD disks
