pw workers create

Pre-provision a compute worker

Synopsis

The pw workers create command submits a scheduler job that pre-provisions a compute worker, so sessions can start on it without waiting in the queue. Start a session on it with pw session create --worker.

The cluster can be given as pw://user/cluster, pw://cluster or cluster, where an omitted user defaults to your username.

Pass --environment to schedule the worker onto an environment, which determines the partition and validates --param values against the environment's schema. Run pw environments get to see which parameters an environment accepts.
