aws-virtual-gpu-device-plugin VS determined

This project (available here) uses the k8s device plugin described by this AWS blog post to make GPU-based nodes publish the amount of GPU resource they have available. Instead of the amount of VRAM available or some abstract metric, this plugin advertises the amount of pods/processes that can be connected to the GPU. This is controlled by what is called by NVIDIA as Multi-Process Service (MPS).

AWS has apparently already started using this type of tech as of this year (see lost below). They mention virtual gpus but this particular solution probably won't help OP unfortunately. https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensource/virtual-gpu-device-plugin-for-inference-workload-in-kubernetes/

The post explores GPU device plugin to address how to set fractional number of GPU resource for each pod by implementing the Kubernetes device plugin and Nvidia MPS. This project has been open sourced on GitHub.

Use Determined if you want a nice UI https://github.com/determined-ai/determined#readme

I looked up and found [Determined Platform](determined.ai), tho it looks a very young project that I don't know if it's reliable enough.

- Developer Support Engineer (~1/3 client facing, triaging feature requests and bug reports, etc; 2/3 debugging/troubleshooting)

We are developing enterprise grade artificial intelligence products/services for AI engineering teams and fortune 500 companies and need more software devs to fill the increasing demand.

Find out more at https://determined.ai/. If AI piques your curiosity or you want to interface with highly skilled engineers in the community, apply within (search "determined ai" at careers.hpe.com and drop me a message at asnell AT hpe PERIOD com).

Check out Determined https://github.com/determined-ai/determined to help manage this kind of work at scale: Determined leverages Horovod under the hood, automatically manages cloud resources and can get you up on spot instances, T4's, etc. and will work on your local cluster as well. Gives you additional features like experiment management, scheduling, profiling, model registry, advanced hyperparameter tuning, etc.

Full disclosure: I'm a founder of the project.

These are some of the problems we are trying to solve with the Determined training platform. Determined can be run with or without k8s - the k8s version inherits some of the scheduling problems of k8s, but the non-k8s version uses a custom gang scheduler designed for large scale ML training. Determined offers a priority scheduler that allows smaller jobs to run while being able to schedule a large distributed job whenever you need, by setting a higher priority.

Ah I see - I think we're pretty much on the same page in terms of timetables. Although if you include TPU, I think it's fair to say that custom accelerators are already a moderate success.

Updated my profile. I've been working on DL training platforms and distributed training benchmarking for a bit so I've gotten a nice view into the GPU/TPU battle.

Shameless plug: you should check out the open-source training platform we are building, Determined[1]. One of the goals is to take our hard-earned expertise on training infrastructure and build a tool where people don't need to have that infrastructure expertise. We don't support TPUs, partially because a lack of demand/TPU availability, and partially because our PyTorch TPU experiments were so unimpressive.

Take a look at Determined https://github.com/determined-ai/determined

determined is an open-source deep learning training platform that makes building models fast and easy. This project provides a CloudFormation template to bootstrap you into AWS and then has a number of tutorials covering how to manage your data, train and then deploy inference endpoints.
