Compute Cluster with a few Tesla T4 + Xeon Gold 6254

Post by ben404 »

Hi!

I have access to a cluster with some compute power:
8x nodes with each having: 2x Intel Xeon Gold 6254 and 4x Nvidia Tesla T4 and a sufficient amount of RAM (500gb+) as well.

Has anyone yet done this with such a hardware and vSphere + vGPU?
(I have the required Nvidia vGPU and VMware licenses as well.)

If you've ever done this in a similar setup, I'd be interested to hear what the recommended approach would be.

Thanks!

Their was a guy doing testing for Supermicro a while back running Tesla's, no idea if he is still active, but he might be your best bet for info. He had a thread about folding on Nvidia Volta somewhere, maybe New GPUs.

Unfortunately, all these technologies are a some kind of uncharted territories for most of us ...

Hi, we support this with VMware using our newly release OVA appliance with F@H client pre-installed, please see the guides for GPU setup. You can find this on the VMware Flings website. https://flings.vmware.com/vmware-applia ... lding-home
