Supporting Kubernetes' Default GPU Scheduling

Updated on 2025-02-18 GMT+08:00

After GPU virtualization is enabled, you are advised to configure volcano.sh/gpu-mem.128Mi for GPU memory isolation and both volcano.sh/gpu-mem.128Mi and volcano.sh/gpu-core.percentage for compute-GPU memory isolation when scheduling GPUs for workloads. Kubernetes' default GPU scheduling is still available, allowing your workloads to use nvidia.com/gpu resources.

  • Setting nvidia.com/gpu to a decimal fraction (for example, 0.5) allows GPU virtualization to allocate the specified nvidia.com/gpu resources for GPU memory isolation in workloads. Containers will receive GPU memory based on the specified value, such as 8 GiB (0.5 x 16 GiB). The GPU memory value must be a multiple of 128 MiB, or it will be rounded down to the nearest integer automatically. If nvidia.com/gpu is set to an integer, the entire available GPUs will be used. If nvidia.com/gpu resources have been used in the workload before GPU virtualization is enabled, the resources will be from the entire GPUs but not GPU virtualization.
  • When GPU virtualization is enabled, configuring nvidia.com/gpu for a workload enables GPU memory isolation. This allows the workload to share the same GPU with other workloads using volcano.sh/gpu-mem.128Mi resources. However, it cannot share the GPU with workloads that use both volcano.sh/gpu-mem.128Mi and volcano.sh/gpu-core.percentage resources. In addition, Notes and Constraints on GPU virtualization must be followed.

Notes and Constraints

To support Kubernetes' default GPU scheduling on GPU nodes, the CCE AI Suite (NVIDIA GPU) add-on must be of v2.0.10 or later, and the Volcano Scheduler add-on must be of v1.10.5 or later.

Configuration Example

  1. Use kubectl to access the cluster.
  2. Create a workload that uses nvidia.com/gpu resources.

    Create a gpu-app.yaml file. The following shows an example:
    apiVersion: apps/v1
    kind: Deployment
    metadata:
      name: gpu-app
      namespace: default
    spec:
      replicas: 1
      selector:
        matchLabels:
          app: gpu-app
      template:
        metadata:
          labels:
            app: gpu-app
        spec:
          schedulerName: volcano
          containers:
            image: <your_image_address>     # Replace it with your image address.
            name: container-0
            resources:
              requests:
                cpu: 250m
                memory: 512Mi
                nvidia.com/gpu: 0.1   # Number of requested GPUs
              limits:
                cpu: 250m
                memory: 512Mi
                nvidia.com/gpu: 0.1   # Maximum number of GPUs that can be used
          imagePullSecrets:
          - name: default-secret

  3. Run the following command to create an application:

    kubectl apply -f gpu-app.yaml

  4. Log in to the pod and check the total GPU memory allocated to the pod.

    kubectl exec -it gpu-app -- nvidia-smi

    Expected output:

    +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

    The output shows that the total GPU memory that can be used by the pod is 2304 MiB.

    In this example, the total GPU memory on the GPU node is 24258 MiB, but the number 2425.8 (24258 × 0.1) is not an integer multiple of 128 MiB. Therefore, the value 2425.8 is rounded down to 18 times of 128 MiB (18 × 128 MiB = 2304 MiB).
