In my case it wouldn't be so easy as the difference between those two
gpus was something around 13 to 15 and don't want to create so many
forks there :)

This looks interesting. I already switched to separate dictionaries
for every gpu on each node for now. Tough with your syntax I noticed
you do NOT use --fork so does that mean with -se it will not require
-node=1-15/28 to run 15 forks for single gpu ? :)
