Grace Blackwell needs a new scheduler: 27% more usable GPUs from the same racks

https://skypilot.ai/blog/grace-blackwell-needs-a-new-scheduler
This blog post spends a lot of time telling why gang scheduling is needed here (a fact obvious to anyone using the nvl72s), but doesn't actually go into detail about how their scheduler works.

At work, we have built something very similar, a custom topology aware scheduler for workloads, and the most interesting things about such a project are entirely absent from this article, making it more of a fluff/marketing piece than an actually interesting technical blog in this area.

Our next iteration of this scheduler aims to scale to O(millions) of GPUs, with a scheduling cycle time measured in the milliseconds.
