GPU Workloads

Bacalhau supports GPU workloads. In this tutorial, learn how to run a job using GPU workloads with the Bacalhau client.

Prerequisites​

  • The Bacalhau network must have an executor node with a GPU exposed
  • Your container must include the CUDA runtime (cudart) and must be compatible with the CUDA version running on the node

Usage​

To submit a job request, use the --gpu flag under the docker run command to select the number of GPUs your job requires. For example:

bacalhau docker run --gpu=1 nvidia/cuda:11.0.3-base-ubuntu20.04 nvidia-smi

Limitations​

The following limitations currently exist within Bacalhau. Bacalhau supports:

  • NVIDIA GPUs only
  • a single GPU only
  • the Docker executor only
