+
+    This decorator wraps a function to automatically retry execution in case of
+    `jax.errors.JaxRuntimeError` caused by slice down events. It waits for
+    available slices before each attempt and cleans up JAX caches on failure.
+    The function will not be attempted (or reattempted) until all of the slices
+    are available.
+
+    Often, the function will dispatch JAX operations and wait for them to
+    complete while creating a log message. If using Python logging, it is
+    recommended to set `logging.raiseExceptions=True` to ensure that the
+    `jax.errors.JaxRuntimeError` is not silently ignored within the logging
+    call.
+
+    Args:
+      max_retries: The maximum number of times to retry the function.
+      wait_period: The number of seconds to wait between availability checks.
+        Defaults to 10 seconds.
+      timeout: The maximum number of seconds to wait for slices to become
+        available before each retry attempt. If None, there is no timeout.
+
+    Returns:
+      The result of the wrapped function.
+
+    Raises:
+      ElasticRuntimeError: If all retry attempts fail.
+      Exception: Any other exception raised by the wrapped function that is not
+        due to a slice down event.
