What is the importance of a job scheduler in an AI resource-constrained cluster?

The correct answer is D. It allocates resources efficiently and optimizes job execution. In a resource-constrained AI cluster, a job scheduler (e.g., Slurm) efficiently allocates limited resources (GPUs, CPUs) to workloads, optimizing utilization and job execution time. It prioritizes based on policies, not just first-come-first-served, and doesn't add resources or…

Explanation

In a resource-constrained AI cluster, a job scheduler (e.g., Slurm) efficiently allocates limited resources (GPUs, CPUs) to workloads, optimizing utilization and job execution time. It prioritizes based on policies, not just first-come-first-served, and doesn't add resources or run all jobs simultaneously, focusing instead on resource optimization.
