   A company runs a mix of CPU-only and GPU-accelerated jobs on a Slurm cluster. The GPU nodes are being added to the existing Slurm partition. The administrator wants to ensure that GPU jobs are scheduled only on the GPU nodes, while CPU jobs can use either the GPU nodes or the CPU-only nodes. What is the correct configuration approach?

   • AUse a job submit plugin to automatically add a constraint for GPU jobs
   • BAdd the GPU nodes to the existing partition and rely on Slurm's default scheduling
   • CCreate a separate Slurm partition for the GPU nodes and configure job submission to target that partition for GPU jobs
   • DConfigure the GPU nodes with a low priority so they are only used when CPU nodes are full
