New GPU cluster features with Ada Lovelace (2024) architecture NVIDIA cards model L40S and RTX 6000Ada has been established, with a total of 112 GPU cards. The GPU-enabled Virtual Machine (GVM) service is similar to the Azure and AWS Cloud Instance services, except that UBDA provide a more prominent direct pass-through GPU card, which means that these GPU cards are NOT virtualized but 100% reserved and owned by the dedicated GVM users.
Upon request, UBDA will provision GPU-enabled VMs for PolyU users (staff/students/external-guests), the maximum number of GPU cards in each VM is 8 at the moment. Users can RDP/SSH to their remote instance using their PolyU NetID and Net Password. They are configured as Linux Superuser and can therefore sudo install their own software/libraries, and highly customized their applications in GVM environment.
The following are illustrative configurations for selection:
