docs Device Plugins: Nvidia docs-devices-nvidia The Nvidia Device Plugin detects and makes Nvidia devices available to tasks.

Nvidia GPU Device Plugin

Name: nvidia-gpu

The Nvidia device plugin is used to expose Nvidia GPUs to Nomad. The Nvidia plugin is built into Nomad and does not need to be downloaded separately.

Fingerprinted Attributes

Attribute Unit
memory MiB
power W (Watt)
bar1 MiB
driver_version string
cores_clock MHz
memory_clock MHz
pci_bandwidth MB/s
display_state string
persistence_mode string

Runtime Environment

The nvidia-gpu device plugin exposes the following environment variables:

  • NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES - List of Nvidia GPU IDs available to the task.

Additional Task Configurations

Additional environment variables can be set by the task to influence the runtime environment. See Nvidia's documentation.

Installation Requirements

In order to use the nvidia-gpu the following prerequisites must be met:

  1. GNU/Linux x86_64 with kernel version > 3.10
  2. NVIDIA GPU with Architecture > Fermi (2.1)
  3. NVIDIA drivers >= 340.29 with binary nvidia-smi

Docker Driver Requirements

In order to use the Nvidia driver plugin with the Docker driver, please follow the installation instructions for nvidia-docker.

Plugin Configuration

plugin "nvidia-gpu" {
  ignored_gpu_ids = ["GPU-fef8089b", "GPU-ac81e44d"]
  fingerprint_period = "1m"
}

The nvidia-gpu device plugin supports the following configuration in the agent config:

  • ignored_gpu_ids (array<string>: []) - Specifies the set of GPU UUIDs that should be ignored when fingerprinting.

  • fingerprint_period (string: "1m") - The period in which to fingerprint for device changes.

Restrictions

The Nvidia integration only works with drivers who natively integrate with Nvidia's container runtime library.

Nomad has tested support with the docker driver and plans to bring support to the built-in exec and java drivers. Support for lxc should be possible by installing the Nvidia hook but is not tested or documented by Nomad.

Run the following example job to see that that the GPU was mounted in the container:

job "gpu-test" {
  datacenters = ["dc1"]
  type = "batch"

  group "smi" {
    task "smi" {
      driver = "docker"

      config {
        image = "nvidia/cuda:9.0-base"
        command = "nvidia-smi"
      }

      resources {
        device "nvidia/gpu" {
          count = 1

          # Add an affinity for a particular model
          affinity {
            attribute = "${device.model}"
            value     = "Tesla K80"
            weight    = 50
          }
        }
