Overview
To ensure the Cloud GPU Service to work properly, the correct Data Center Operating System software must be installed in advance. For NVIDIA series GPUs, the following two levels of software packages need to be installed:
The hardware driver that drives the GPU to work.
The libraries required by upper-level applications.
For user's convenience, the Cloud market offers images with pre-installed GPU drivers and AI environments. When creating a GPU instance or reinstalling the system, you can select the relevant image from the market to complete the deployment.
Note:
NVIDIA GPU instances are categorized into two types: physical pass-through card instances (full GPUs) and vGPU instances (fractional GPUs, such as 1/4 GPU).
Physical passthrough GPUs can use the Tesla driver to support computing scenarios or the GRID driver to enable rendering scenarios.
vGPUs can only use specific versions of the GRID driver to support different scenarios.
Operation Steps
1. During the purchase page or system reinstallation process, select the GPU model or instance.
2. In image, select Image markeplace, click Select from Cloud Image market. As shown below:
