A trial has to be run on a single node; it cannot be split across multiple nodes. So to run all 4 trials in parallel with GPU, all of them have to be run on the 1 node that contains GPU, and that node must have enough CPUs to support them. That would mean your CPU-only nodes are not going to actually be running any trials.

now, I imagined that if I tell Tune to run 4 RLlib trials, each consuming 1xGPU and say, 320 cores, which amount to 10 nodes (B-Z), then Tune will figure out that to maximize bandwidth it should schedule at least the 4 driver processes on Node A, and distribute the rest (workers) on B-Z. What happens in reality is that by using placement_strategy=PACK (the default), the first trial to run hogs up all the cpu cores at Node A, therefore it is the only one running, because all the other 3 trials need a GPU but the gpus are on Node A, which is running at full CPU capacity.

Background:  Nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) is widely used as a treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea. However, to date there are no randomised controlled trials of this therapy against a well-matched control. We undertook a randomised prospective parallel trial of therapeutic NCPAP for obstructive sleep apnoea compared with a control group on subtherapeutic NCPAP.

Interpretation:  Therapeutic NCPAP reduces excessive daytime sleepiness and improves self-reported health status compared with a subtherapeutic control. Compared with controls, the effects of therapeutic NCPAP are large and confirm previous uncontrolled clinical observations and the results of controlled trials that used an oral placebo.

In a parallel group-randomized trial (GRT), also called a parallel cluster-randomized trial, groups or clusters are randomized to study conditions, and observations are taken on the members of those groups with no cross-over of groups or clusters to a different condition or study arm during the trial (Campbell and Walters, 2014; Donner and Klar, 2000; Eldridge and Kerry, 2012; Hayes and Moulton, 2017; Murray, 1998). This design is common in public health, where the units of assignment may be schools, worksites, clinics, or whole communities, and the units of observation are the students, employees, patients, or residents within those groups. It is common in animal research, where the units of assignment may be litters of mice or rats and the units of observation are individual animals. It is also common in clinical research, where the units of assignment may be patients and the units of observation are individual teeth or eyes. Special methods are needed for analysis and sample size estimation for these studies, as detailed below and in the parallel GRT sample size calculator.

Parallel GRTs often involve a limited number of groups randomized to each study condition. A recent review found that the median number of groups randomized to each study condition in GRTs related to cancer was 25, though many were much smaller (Murray et al., 2018). When the number of groups available for randomization is limited, there is a greater risk that potentially confounding variables will be unevenly distributed among the study conditions, and this can threaten the internal validity of the trial. As a result, when the number of groups to be randomized to each study condition is limited, a priori matching and a priori stratification are widely recommended to help ensure balance across the study conditions on potential confounders (Campbell and Walters, 2014;Donner and Klar, 2000;Hayes and Moulton, 2017;Murray, 1998

Positive ICC reduces the variation among the members of the same group but increases the variation among the groups. As such, the variance of any group-level statistic will be larger in a parallel GRT than in a randomized clinical trial (RCT). Complicating matters further, the degrees of freedom (df) available to estimate the ICC or the group-level component of variance will be based on the number of groups, and so are often limited. Any analysis that ignores the extra variation (or positive ICC) or the limited df will have a type I error rate that is inflated, often badly (Campbell and Walters, 2014; Donner and Klar, 2000; Eldridge and Kerry, 2012;Hayes and Moulton, 2017;Murray, 1998).

A pragmatic trial is one that helps users choose between options for care. These trials are usually done in the real world, under less well-controlled conditions than more traditional clinical trials. Pragmatic trials can use a traditional RCT design, or they can use a parallel GRT design. Stepped wedge group-randomized trials (SW-GRTs) are also used in pragmatic trials. Of 21 pragmatic trials supported by the Health Care Systems Research Collaboratory at the NIH, two are RCTs, 10 are GRTs, four are IRGTs, and five are SWGRTs.

There are five published textbooks on the design and analysis of group- or cluster-randomized trials (Campbell and Walters, 2014;Donner and Klar, 2000;Eldridge and Kerry, 2012;Hayes and Moulton, 2017;Murray, 1998). A recent textbook is devoted to power and sample size calculation for multilevel designs, including parallel GRTs, IRGTs, and stepped wedge group-randomized trials (Moerbeek and Teerenstra, 2016).

Yes. Sometimes investigators randomize months or weeks within clinics to study conditions. As an example, consider a study in which over the course of a year, six months are spent delivering the intervention condition and six months are spent delivering the control condition, with the order randomized within each clinic. The unit of assignment in this case is the time block within the clinic, rather than the clinic itself. Patients receive the intervention or control condition appropriate to the time block when they come to the clinic. While these groups are not structural groups like whole clinics, they are still groups, and this is still a parallel group- or cluster-randomized trial with the time block as the group. The key number in this case for power or sample size calculations is the number of time blocks, not the number of clinics. In this example, the clinic is crossed with study conditions as there are both interventions and control participants in each clinic; the clinic can be included in the analysis as a fixed effect stratification factor and that may improve power.

The other possibility is that a participant in a GRT or IRGT would change groups or clusters even as they stay in the same study condition or study arm. In a school-based trial, a participant from one intervention school might move to another intervention school. Or in an IRGT, a participant who usually went to the Tuesday night class might sometimes go to the Saturday morning class. Recent studies have shown that failure to account for changing group membership can result in an inflated type I error rate (Andridge et al., 2014). Several authors provide methods for analyzing data to account for such changes (Candlish et al., 2018;Luo et al., 2015;Roberts and Walwyn, 2013;Sterba, 2017).

The best estimate for the ICC will reflect the circumstances for the trial being planned. That estimate will be from the same target population, so that it reflects the appropriate groups or clusters (e.g., schools vs. clinics vs. worksites vs. communities); age groups (e.g., youth vs. young adults vs. seniors); ethnic, racial, and gender diversity; and other characteristics of the target population. That estimate will derive from data collected for the same outcome using the same measurement methods to be used for the primary outcome in the trial being planned. For example, if planning a trial to improve servings of fruits and vegetables in inner-city third graders, it would be important to get an ICC estimate for servings of fruits and vegetables, measured in the same way as servings would be measured in the trial being planned, from third-graders in inner-city schools like the schools that would be recruited for the trial being planned.

There is no general answer to this question. Instead, investigators should estimate sample size requirements for the trial under consideration, using the best parameter estimates available. At the same time, it is fair to say that increasing the number of groups or clusters per condition will more effectively increase power than will increasing the number of members per group or cluster.

The most common design in a parallel GRT is a pretest-posttest design (Murray, 1998). However, some trials include additional baseline measurements and/or follow-up measurements. If the investigator wants to include no more than two time points in the analysis (e.g., pretest and posttest, or pretest and one year follow-up), a mixed-model repeated measures ANOVA/ANCOVA can be used and is expected to carry the nominal type 1 error rate (Murray, 1998). However, if the investigator wants to include three or more time points in the analysis (e.g., baseline, posttest, one year follow-up), the mixed-model repeated measures ANOVA/ANCOVA should not be used (Murray, 1998). The mixed-model repeated measures ANOVA/ANCOVA assumes that the group-specific time trends within a study arm are homogeneous and if that assumption does not hold, the mixed-model repeated measures ANOVA/ANCOVA will have an inflated type I error rate. Because there is no test for this assumption within the mixed-model repeated measures ANOVA/ANCOVA, the prudent course is to avoid this analytic model. Instead, a random coefficients or growth-curve model can be used and is expected to have the nominal type 1 error rate even in the presence of heterogeneity for the group-specific slopes within a study arm (Murray, 1998). Some have suggested that the mixed-model repeated measures ANOVA can be used with more than two time points in the analysis if it includes an unstructured covariance matrix (Bell and Rabe, 2020), but more recent work has shown that is not always the case, again recommending the random coefficients model when the analysis will include three or more time points (Moyer and Murray, 2021). 589ccfa754
