Sorry for the aside, but is it possible to create a GPU cluster for, say, machine learning or rendering that uses both NVDA and AMD GPUs, together? I have 4 AMD GPUs and 2 NVDA 1080 TIs and was curious if its possible to wire up a computer that uses all 6 simultaneously
- projct 6y agoSort of. Mixed brand has a lot of bugs, and the different ways you'd hook up more than 4 cards have a lot of drawbacks so you would have to plan this carefully. It would be easier and more flexible to get a 4 slot board for the AMD GPUs and use the NVIDIA ones in a different machine. EDIT: note also that the 4 slot board does not need to populate all the PCIE lanes necessarily depending on your workload.
- arthurcolle 6y agoAre there issues with using GPU drivers from several different GPU vendors on the same machine? I heard that from some people that were into the crypto-mining scene, and was curious if that carries over to all potential GPU cluster applications... Thanks for answering!
- nl 6y agoFor ML maybe? You can get the AMD builds of TF and PyTorch and then build a cluster out. Realistically it'd likely to be more trouble than its worth. The AMD versions are always behind the core versions.
