Given that [Slurm tasks map to workers in Distributed](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/error-launching-slurm-job-no-method-matching-replace-string-string-string/46279), it seems like there is actually no representation of Slurm “cpus” in the [sbatch “–cpus-per-task” sense](https://slurm.schedmd.com/sbatch.html). Is this correct?
