Compute Clusters are groups of machines configured through third party tools that accept jobs, schedule them, and efficiently allocate the compute resources. Common compute clusters include LSF, SGE and SLURM. To add custom compute clusters to Vivado, you can click the plus tool bar button shown in figure def and provide a name for the cluster configuration. You then need to specify the command necessary to submit a job to the cluster, cancel a job on the cluster, and the cluster type. Vivado natively support LSF, SGE and SLURM. For any other cluster you can choose CUSTOM in the combo box. The configuration can be tested by pressing the test configuration button.
