GPU cluster typically refers to a collection of interconnected computers, each equipped with one or more GPUs, working together as a unified system. These systems often run on specialized software, such as HPC (High-Performance Computing) clusters, which facilitate distributed computing tasks. Clusters are generally designed for diverse workloads and research projects, where individual nodes can be dedicated to specific tasks or run different parts of a larger computation concurrently. They often operate within a managed environment, offering advanced scheduling and resource management capabilities.
There are three main advantages of GPU cluster:
High availability
High performance
Load balancing
Hardware Specifications
Scalability
Network and Connectivity
Software and Compatibility
Cost and Pricing Model
Customer Support
Accelerated Computation
Scalability
Cost Efficiency
Improved Reliability and Redundancy
Features | GPU Cluster | GPU Farm |
---|---|---|
Architecture | Simple, concise, readable | Not easy to use |
Nodes | Highly integrated, tightly interconnected GPU nodes | Distributed, independent GPU computing resources |
Management | Unified management system (such as Slurm, Kubernetes) | Batch processing system or cloud management platform |
Interconnection | High-speed network interconnection | General network interconnection |
Task type | Highly parallel computing tasks, such as scientific computing and deep learning training | Distributed rendering, data mining, batch processing tasks |
Scalability | Easy to expand by adding nodes | More independent GPUs can be added, but there may be no cluster coordination |
Typical applications | Supercomputing centers, technology companies | Animation studios, video production companies |
