Apache Spark has always been very well known for distributing computation among multiple nodes using the assistance of partitions, and CPU cores have always performed processing within a single partition.  What’s less widely known is that it is possible to accelerate Spark with GPUs. Harnessing this power in the right situation brings imm

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have surged in importance. This rise can be attributed to a massive influx of data, enhanced computational capabilities, and significant advancements in algorithms. These changes have empowered various industries and society at large, resulting in cost-effective produ

Ubuntu Server 21.10 (Impish Indri) expands on edge use cases with a minimised system installation option in the Ubuntu Server Live Installer, and native, certified drivers for NVIDIA vGPU software on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and 18.04 LTS, fully supporting sophisticated AI/ML workloads.

The financial services (FS) industry is going through a period of change and disruption. Technology innovation has provided the means for financial institutions  to reimagine the way in which they operate and interact with their customers, employees and the wider ecosystem. One significant area of development is the utilisation of artific

At Build 2020 Microsoft announced support for GPU compute on Windows Subsystem for Linux 2. Ubuntu is the leading Linux distribution for WSL and a sponsor of WSLConf. Canonical, the publisher of Ubuntu, provides enterprise support for Ubuntu on WSL through Ubuntu Advantage. This guide will walk early adopters through the steps on turning

In recent reports, it is stated that datacenter-based GPU deployments is the fastest sector, and again, that’s no surprise.  The cloud has had its own incredible growth over the years, and it’s only natural that these two technologies are starting to work in harmony.  As a matter of fact, most public clouds have GPU offerings,

Leveraging Kubernetes for AI deployments is becoming increasingly popular. Chances are if your business is involved in AI/ML with Kubernetes you are using tools like Kubeflow to reduce complexity, costs and deployment time. Or, you may be missing out! With AI/ML being the tech topics of the world, GPUs play a critical role in the

This post walks through the use of GPGPUs with Kubernetes and DevicePlugins. We’ll use MicroK8s for a developer workstation example and charmed K8s for a cluster since that’s a consistent multi-cloud Kubernetes approach. The various cloud CAAS offerings like GKE are also enabling GPGPU facilities so you may want to try those too. We’ll us

Event Information Date: March 27 – 29 City/State: San Jose, CA Location: San Jose McEnery Convention Center Booth: #1227 GTC is the premier AI and deep learning conference, providing unparalleled training, industry insights, and direct access to NVIDIA and industry experts — all in one place. It features the latest breakthroughs in everyt

[Edit 2017-04-20] A careful reader informed me (thanks for that HN user puzzle) that it is no longer required to run in privileged mode to access the GPUs in K8s. I therefore removed a note that previously stated this requirement, and am in the process of updating my Helm charts to remove it as well

Our March edition is packed with exciting content. We begin with our recent announcement of Ubuntu 12.04 Extended Security Maintenance providing ongoing security updates for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS at least another year. Download our latest ‘Carrier Cloudification’ eBook, or join our upcoming webinars on OpenStack, Containers, GPUs/Deep Learning

GPU inside a container LXD supports GPU passthrough but this is implemented in a very different way than what you would expect from a virtual machine. With containers, rather than passing a raw PCI device and have the container deal … Continue reading →
