vGPU for Caffe framework

Hi All,

My requirement is we need to train 50K images using caffe framework on GPU machine.

We have NVIDIA GRID K2 GPU machine.

As per the link(Driver for Linux (Ubuntu) for vGPU NVIDIA Grid K1/K2 - Linux - NVIDIA Developer Forums) we need to have the server loaded with VMware and then set up a VM with Ubuntu.

Please suggest if we can leverage on VM approach for image processing.

Thanks

Hi vijay,

I don’t see a reason why it shouldn’t work. Please have in mind that you need to run Passthrough to have CUDA on the K2.

Can u share the relavant doc for the same.

Thanks

I need to run Caffe application on NVIDIA GRID K2 machine. Do i need to have CUDA installed if yes, what is the version need to be installed

Thanks

Hi vijay,

I’ve never installed DL stuff on Linux therefore I don’t know if there is a "special" requirement other than the NV drivers. In Passthrough CUDA is enabled and on Windows VMs there is nothing that needs to be installed in addition to run apps with CUDA.
I don’t think there is any difference compared to a local machine so if you ever installed Caffe on a local machine you should be able to replicate your knowledge for the VM…
