in larger systems the utility of sharing a single cpu/gpu complex between independent authorization domains kind of goes away. if you have 10,000 units of allocation, it never makes sense to try to share one of those until you have more than 10,000 jobs, and even then.

so it seems a lot more feasible to control access and sharing between those units and write of off the intranode case as a lost cause

In such arrangements, one has essentially enforced high-latency similar context isolation using encrypted/VLAN network fabric, and pushed coordination/permissions into back-plane supervisory subsystems. Still creating a monolithic permission domain vulnerability within the entire n<10000 node cluster partition.

Likely doesn't help OS users either way. Best regards =3
