Start Aggregation Mode Server #12

name: "Start Aggregation Mode Server"
# Starts the Paperspace GPU server that runs the aggregation mode.
#
# The server is kept powered off to avoid 24/7 billing. This workflow boots it
# once a day; on boot the machine runs `aggregation_mode.service`, which executes
# the SP1 aggregations and then powers the machine off again
# (see infra/aggregation_mode/run.sh).
on:
schedule:
# 15:00 UTC == 12:00 GMT-3, every day. GitHub Actions cron is always in UTC.
