Terms in this definition
- Chat message roles
Labels on chat messages: instructions go under system, the person's input under user, the model's previous answers under assistant, and results returned by a called tool under tool (or function).
- HPC
Large-scale parallel computation, which Azure serves through CycleCloud or Azure Batch and VM sizes capable of RDMA.
- LIKE
Compares strings with a pattern that can contain the % and _ wildcards. Because it only understands character patterns, searching big volumes of text this way is much slower than using full-text search.
- Slurm
A scheduler for HPC jobs, one of those that Azure CycleCloud can run.
- LSF
IBM Spectrum Load Sharing Facility, a job scheduler for HPC workloads that Azure CycleCloud supports.
- PBS
Portable Batch System. Azure CycleCloud can run this HPC job scheduler, in its PBS Pro form.
