Deploy Multiple BBU on the same hardware?

Accelerated Computing Aerial Forum

Hello,

I think CUDA accelerated RAN is a promising approach for implementing vRAN.

Is it currently possible to run two or more BBUs on the same hardware (GPU + NIC)? Or, is there any virtualization technology available that can be used to deploy multiple BBUs on the same hardware?

Thank you very much.

Hi @vantuan_ngo

Yes, it is applicable to run more than on BBU on the same GPU in MIG mode.
Please refer to this link for GPU MIG info NVIDIA Multi-Instance GPU User Guide :: NVIDIA Data Center GPU Driver Documentation

What about NIC? Is it possible for two or more GPU instances to share the same NIC?

yes, it is possible to use two ports of the same NIC for two cuBB instances.
