[HTCondor-users] Docker universe and GPUs

[Joan Piles <jpiles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

We have been trying to experiment with the docker universe, and have 
found that when a GPU job is requested, the required CUDA device files 
are not passed through to the container as required [1]

In our case a "--device /dev/nvidiaN:/dev/nvidiaN" per card plus the 
nvdiactl and uvm ones would be needed.

I think we could use a docker command wrapper to add them as needed [2], 
but I was wondering if there are plans for a generic support for this 
kind of features (it needn't be GPU specific, it could be made so that 
other machine resources are passed through to the docker containers).

Best,

Joan
