Recommended reading path
New to the project: Single-machine topologies → Machine catalog → single-gpu machine.
Writing your own topology: read Writing topologies first, then copy and edit a sample from Machine catalog.
Multi-GPU or mixed devices: gpu-8 machine, mixed-models machine.
Several machines in one session: Multi-machine topologies.
Complete host and device fields: vHost profiles, Device catalog, plus Topology YAML schema and Device adapters.
