Multi-Instance GPU Support on RunPod
Hey
,
Last night
, I was experimenting with RunPod for the first time
, and tried to enable MIG via
nvidia-smi
nvidia-smi
- but it didn
’t work
. Instead
, it threw an
‘insufficient permissions
’ error
.
This appears to be due to how virtualisation is implemented
, providing a lack of hardware
-level control within a pod
.
I have tried the same thing on Vast
.ai and received the same results
, however they informed me that they do not officially support said functionality
.
With all that
, is there a way to get this to work on RunPod
? MIG is mentioned in the following blog post
:
https://www.runpod.io/articles/rent/h100-sxm
Thank you for your help and time
.
