关于 vSphere Bitfusion

VMware vSphere Bitfusion 共享图形处理单元 (GPU) 等加速器以分享共享网络可访问资源池,从而支持资源密集型人工智能 (AI) 和机器学习 (ML) 工作负载。vSphere Bitfusion 可在 AI 框架、云站点、网络以及虚拟机、容器和笔记本等环境中运行。

vSphere Bitfusion 的工作原理是什么?

Bitfusion 要解决的是以下问题:

  • 有些团队在利用机器学习进行研究时没有 GPU 可以用来加速学习速度 (sysin);
  • 而另一些团队已经拥有了 GPU,但是他们没有完全利用 GPU 的处理能力,很多 GPU 资源在白白闲置。

Bitfusion 把 GPU 资源集中起来,组成 GPU 资源池,然后共享给大家使用,这个方案分为两部分:

  • Bitfusion 服务器:把 GPU 安装在 vSphere 服务器上 (要求 vSphere 7 以上版本),然后在上面运行 Bitfusion Server (以 OVA 格式分享的 virtual appliance),Bitfusion Server 可以把物理 GPU 资源虚拟化,共享给多个用户使用。
  • Bitfusion 客户机:Bitfusion Client 是运行在其他 vSphere 服务器上的 Linux 虚机 (要求 vSphere 6.7 以上版本),机器学习 ML (Machine Learning) 工作负载运行在这些虚拟机上 (sysin),Bitfusion 会把它们对于GPU 的服务请求通过网络传输给 Bitfusion Server,计算完成后再返回结果。对于 ML 工作负载来说,远程 GPU 是完全透明的,它就像是在使用本地的 GPU 硬件。

What is New in vSphere Bitfusion 4.0

  • Added support for NVIDIA CUDA 11.2.2, NVIDIA cuDNN 8.1.1, and NVIDIA NCCL 2.8.4.
  • Added improved scheduling to run workloads on specific sets of GPUs or vSphere Bitfusion servers.
  • Added data retention policy to specify a time period to store historical vSphere Bitfusion data.
  • Added monitoring plug-ins to determine the status of vSphere Bitfusion servers.
  • Client authentication tokens can be published from vSphere Bitfusion to Kubernetes Secrets.
  • vCenter Server Dark Theme is now supported by vSphere Bitfusion.
  • Support for Ubuntu 16.04 clients is deprecated in vSphere Bitfusion 4.0.0.
  • Support for vSphere Bitfusion 2.x.x clients will be deprecated in vSphere Bitfusion 4.5.0.
