Re: [Gluster-users] Integration of GPU with glusterfs

[Ashish Pandey <aspandey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Based on my understanding of GPU and CUDA programming, I think we should write some API"s which

different translators can use. I just explored EC code where we are doing computation to encode and decode user data

and found that it could be a better idea to provide API's.

We thought of providing an option in glusterfs by which we can control if we want to use GPU or not.

So, the concern of gluster eating out GPU's which could be used by others can be addressed.

It would be definitely be interesting to try this out. This limitation may change in the future and the higher end GPUs are still usable in data centers.

Do you have more details on the proposed implementation?

Thanks,

Vijay

Nvidia banned only the lower cost, home user versions of their GPU line from datacenters.
