Resource Placement and Affinity
The policy API controls where Dragon places work and resources. Use it when you need to express CPU, GPU, host, or affinity preferences explicitly instead of relying on the runtime’s default placement decisions.
This is the reference surface behind many higher-level placement features in the Native API and other orchestration interfaces. If you are deciding where a process group, worker, or resource should run, this is the core policy object to understand.
Python Reference
A Policy is used to define the placement or affinity of an object or process within the Dragon allocation to specific physical resources like nodes, CPUs, or GPUs. |
