Research Computing has a significant investment in GPU-enabled servers. Each supports from two to eight Nvidia GPUs that range from the earlier S1070s (Tesla T10) to the more recent Kepler K20s (see table below).

−
===Interactive Use===
 
−
 
 
−
If you need interactive access to a gpu for development and testing you may do so by requesting an interactive session through the batch system. 
 
−
 
 
−
In order to gain interactive access to a GPU server you should run similar to the one that follows.
 
−
 
 
−
<pre>
 
−
qsub -I -l nodes=1:gpus=1:tesla,walltime=01:00:00 -q gpu
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
 
−
To gain access to one of the Fermi-class GPUs, you can make a similar request but specify the "fermi" attribute in your resource request as below.
 
−
 
 
−
<pre>
 
−
qsub -I -l nodes=1:gpus=1:fermi,walltime=01:00:00 -q gpu
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
 
−
If a gpu is available, you will get a prompt on a gpu-enabled host within a minute or two.  Otherwise, you will have to wait or try another time.  If you choose to wait, you will be connected when a gpu is available.    The default walltime limit for the gpu queue is 10 minutes.  You should request the amount of time you need but be sure to log out and end your session when you are finished so that the GPU will be available to others.
 
−
 
 
−
If you need two GPUs in a single host, you would run the following command instead.
 
−
<pre>
 
−
qsub -I -l nodes=1:gpus=2,walltime=01:00:00 -q gpu
 
−
</pre>
 
−
 
 
−
If you need two gpus in two separate hosts, you would request
 
−
<pre>
 
−
qsub -I -l nodes=2:gpus=1,walltime=01:00:00 -q gpu
 
−
</pre>
 
−
===Batch Jobs===
 
−
 
 
−
The process is much the same for batch jobs.  To access a host with an M2090, you can add the following to your submission script.
 
−
 
 
−
<pre>
 
−
#PBS -q gpu
 
−
#PBS -l nodes=1:gpus=1:m2090
 
−
#PBS -l walltime=1:00:00
 
−
</pre>
 
  
−
To access a server with an M2070 GPU, you can add the following to your submission script.
+
===Environment===
 +
For CUDA development please load the "cuda" module.  Doing so will ensure that your environment is set up correctly for the use of the CUDA compiler, header files, and libraries. Currently cuda/9.2.88 and cuda/10.0.130 are the only versions supported on hipergator.

#PBS -l nodes=1:gpus=1:m2070
 
−
#PBS -l walltime=1:00:00
 
−
</pre>
 
−
===Exclusive Mode===
 
−
The GPUs are configured to run in '''exclusive''' mode.  This means that the gpu driver will only allow one process at a time to access the GPU.  If GPU 0 is in use and your application tries to use it, it will simply block.  If your application does not call cudaSetDevice(), the CUDA runtime should assign it to a free GPU.  Since everyone will be accessing the GPUs through the batch system, there should be no over-subscription of the GPUs.
