Setiap kali muncul pertanyaan berharga, apakah akan meningkatkan kartu di ruang server atau tidak, saya melihat artikel serupa dan menonton video semacam itu (tidak, materi pemasaran dari Nvidia tentu saja tidak dapat dipercaya, seperti kasus baru-baru ini dengan jumlah inti CUDA yang ditunjukkan).
Saluran "Komputer Ini" sangat diremehkan, tetapi penulis tidak berurusan dengan ML. Secara umum, saat menganalisis perbandingan akselerator untuk ML, beberapa hal biasanya menarik perhatian Anda:
- Penulis biasanya hanya memperhitungkan "kecukupan" untuk pasar kartu baru di Amerika Serikat;
- Pemeringkatannya jauh dari orang-orang dan dilakukan pada grid yang sangat standar (yang mungkin secara keseluruhan bagus) tanpa detail;
- Mantra populer untuk melatih lebih banyak jaring raksasa mengubah perbandingan;
Anda tidak perlu berada di dahi tujuh inci untuk mengetahui jawaban yang jelas untuk pertanyaan "kartu mana yang lebih baik?": Kartu dari seri 20 * tidak dibagikan kepada massa, 1080 Ti dengan Avito masih sangat menarik (dan, anehnya, mungkin alasan ini).

MIG supports running CUDA applications by specifying the CUDA device on which the application should be run. With CUDA 11, only enumeration of a single MIG instance is supported. CUDA applications treat a CI and its parent GI as a single CUDA device. CUDA is limited to use a single CI and will pick the first one available if several of them are visible. To summarize, there are two constraints: - CUDA can only enumerate a single compute instance - CUDA will not enumerate non-MIG GPU if any compute instance is enumerated on any other GPU Note that these constraints may be relaxed in future NVIDIA driver releases for MIG.

There is no GPU-to-GPU P2P (both PCIe and NVLINK) support in MIG mode, so MIG mode does not support multi-GPU or multi-node training. For large models or models trained with a large batch size, the models may fully utilize a single GPU or even be scaled to multi-GPUs or multi-nodes. In these cases, we still recommend using a full GPU or multi-GPUs, even multi-nodes, to minimize total training time.

Dengan NCCL saya mendapat pengecualian yang sama. Mengubah nccl
untuk gloo
mulai ... tapi pekerjaan itu sooooo lambat. Secara konvensional, ini sepuluh kali lebih lambat dan penggunaan kartu berada pada level yang sangat rendah. Saya pikir tidak ada gunanya menggali lebih jauh.
