In the "Data parallelism" section, it is implied that hundreds of jobs can be run. This is contradictory to what is explained above.

How do you define "larger experiments"? How many jobs?

For CC we might refer to their documentation for details.
Should we rephrase with "...for larger experiments that don't fit in Mila cluster..." ?

For Mila I guess this recommendation was relevant before AO2, when the number of GPUs was around 170. (a quick search shows this number of 5 was introduced in a pre-pandemic world, April 2019, https://github.com/mila-iqia/AI-HPC-Docs/commit/667d8097913821112fecd2aab24ed4154f069743). We have 500+ GPUs in the cluster now. Moreover, this is the job of the batch scheduler to distribute the jobs based on defined rules and QoS, not to the users to limit themselves.
