Device plugins are used to detect and make devices available to tasks in
|
|
|
|
|
Nomad. Devices are physical hardware that exists on a client node such as a
|
|
|
|
|
GPU or an FPGA. By having extensible device plugins, Nomad has the flexibility
|
|
|
|
|
to support a broad set of devices and allows the community to build additional
|
|
|
|
|
device plugins as needed.

The list of supported device plugins is provided on the left of this page.
|
|
|
|
|
Each device plugin documents its configuration and installation requirements,
|
|
|
|
|
the attributes it fingerprints, and the environment variables it exposes to
|
|
|
|
|
tasks.
