GPU + Connectx6 SmartNIC node

[Tanay Maheshwari]

Hello,
Is it possible to create a GPU+Connectx6 SmartNIC Node? (not a SharedNIC). From my exploration of all the sites, I dont see any host with both of those. Could anyone guide me here?

Thanks,
Tanay

Hi Tanay,

As you mentioned, the current infrastructure supports GPUs with ConnectX-5. Unfortunately, GPUs with ConnectX-6 are not a feasible option at this time. I hope the available setup works well for your experiment.

Thanks,

Correction: Both the CERN and CIEN racks have ConnectX-6 and GPU available on the same host. However, the CIEN rack is currently under maintenance as it is being transported back from SC.

You can proceed with your experiment on the CERN rack, subject to its availability.

Additionally, here’s a Fablib code snippet to help you check for specific resources on hosts:


fields=['name','nic_connectx_6_capacity','nic_connectx_5_capacity','tesla_t4_capacity','rtx6000_capacity', 'a30_capacity', 'a40_capacity']
output_table = fablib.list_hosts(fields=fields)


Thanks,
Komal
