Clarify what GPU cores in job.spec.resources.gpu_cores_per_process meansΒ #141

Description

Describe the error, inconsistency, or unclear wording here

GPUs have thousands of specialized cores that cannot generally be shared between different users at the same time since there is little in the way of a multi-user task scheduler on the GPU. Hence, GPUs being used one physical card at a time.

It then makes little sense to allocate GPU cores to process. Instead, it seems like the better unit to allocate would be GPU chips (or GPUs, in short).

So this needs clarification.
