It’s the last day of GTC 2019, for those who know me they know it’s time for my yearly wrap up of the trade show. For the folks in charge of the show it’s feedback for next year’s GTC. For those not familiar with my wrap up report, the last day of the show I …

NVIDIA Jetson Nano – a Quick Look

March 19, 2019

Yesterday, March 18th, the NVIDIA Jetson Nano was announced at GTC. As you left the keynote (or when you got back to the San Jose Convention Center) you could purchase one for $99. I purchased a Nano and thought I’d give you a quick look at it.

Scripting VDI By Day and Compute By Night

By Tony in Deep Learning, GPU, Horizon, HPC, Large Scale Compute, Machine Learning, NGCA, PowerCLI, Programming, vExpert
March 13, 2019

Over the weekend I finished writing a PowerCLI script to do VDI by day and compute by night. In in this post I’m going to share the script and how to set it up with you.

For those not familiar with the term VDI by day and compute by night here is my vision for it. Let’s say you have a bunch of VDI users who are structural engineers. They typically work from 8 in the morning to 5 or so at night. On their VDI desktops they have programs like like AutoCAD which require high end GPUs, but since they are using VDI they’re virtual GPUs or vGPUs. That means you have these high end GPUs that might be sitting idle for 12 to 16 hours a day and the organization spent a lot of money for those GPUs.

Now what if you could use those GPUs for something other than just engineers virtual desktops? You know, get a little more millage out of them. The R&D department keeps wanting more servers for their high performance computing (HPC) farm… What could 12 extra hours a day of GPU time coming from the Engineers idle VDI hosts do to help them?

Number of vGPUs Available in vSphere

By Tony in AI, Deep Learning, GPU, Horizon, Machine Learning, PowerCLI, Programming, VMware
February 19, 2019

I’ve been working on a PowerCLI function for the last few months in my free time and now I’d like to share it with everyone. This is a pretty spiffy function for those folks working with vGPUs, and it’s not just for VDI it can help those looking to virtualize ML/DL systems too. It calculates the vGPU carrying capacity of a vSphere environment.

vGPU PowerCLI Commands

By Tony in GPU, NGCA, Programming, VMware
October 26, 2018

I’m a noob when it comes to PowerCLI, I can Get-VM like most everyone else, but not much more. You may have seen my previous post about Taking Back Resources where I talked about the theory and logic behind vGPU cycle harvesting. Right now I’m working on putting it into action and the best way …

Taking Back Resources

By Tony in AI, CUDA, Deep Learning, GPU, Horizon, HPC, Large Scale Compute, Machine Learning, NGCA, vExpert
September 14, 2018

In this post I’m looking at reclaiming resources from virtual environments. To which you might be saying that’s simple, VMware put out a white paper on cycle harvesting. https://www.vmware.com/content/dam/digitalmarketing/vmware/en/pdf/solutions/vmware-jackson-national-life-insurance-white-paper.pdf The above paper was based on what a VMware customer did to reclaim idle CPU resources from their VDI environment. They did this by setting share …

NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit Test Script

By Tony in CUDA, GPU, GTC, Horizon, NGCA
April 6, 2018

At GTC18 I mentioned that I created a script to run through all the samples in the CUDA Toolkit. I had a few moments so I thought I’d share the code. You can use the code below to loop through the sample files. If you are interested in the results I obtained on VMs with …

April 4, 2018

GTC 2018 concluded on Thursday afternoon and this post took me a bit longer than planned. It’s time for my now annual GTC wrap up post. In this post I share my thoughts, opinions, and personal experience on this years conference. This is my 3rd year attending GTC and it’s amazing how much has changed …
