GPU-enabled compute

note

Some GPU-enabled instance types are in Beta and are marked as such in the drop-down list when you select the driver and worker types during compute creation.

Overview​

Databricks supports compute accelerated with graphics processing units (GPUs). This article describes how to create compute with GPU-enabled instances and describes the GPU drivers and libraries installed on those instances.

To learn more about deep learning on GPU-enabled compute, see Deep learning.

Create a GPU compute​

Creating a GPU compute is similar to creating any compute. Keep in mind the following:

The process for configuring GPU instances using the [Clusters API] varies depending on whether the kind field is set. kind determines whether your request uses the simple form specification:

Supported instance types​

warning

Databricks is deprecating and will no longer support spinning up compute using Amazon EC2 P3 instances as AWS is deprecating these instances.

Databricks supports the following GPU-accelerated instance types:

Considerations​

For all GPU-accelerated instance types, keep the following in mind:

See Supported Instance Types for a list of supported GPU instance types and their attributes.

GPU scheduling​

GPU scheduling distributes Spark tasks efficiently across a large number of GPUs.

Databricks Runtime supports GPU-aware scheduling from Apache Spark 3.0. Databricks preconfigures it on GPU compute.

note

GPU scheduling is not enabled on single-node compute.

GPU scheduling for AI and ML​

spark.task.resource.gpu.amount is the only Spark config related to GPU-aware scheduling that you may need to configure. The default configuration uses one GPU per task, which is a good baseline for distributed inference workloads and distributed training if you use all GPU nodes.

To reduce communication overhead during distributed training, Databricks recommends setting spark.task.resource.gpu.amount to the number of GPUs per worker node in the compute Spark configuration. This creates only one Spark task for each Spark worker and assigns all GPUs in that worker node to the same task.

To increase parallelization for distributed deep learning inference, you can set spark.task.resource.gpu.amount to fractional values such as 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, … 1/N. This creates more Spark tasks than there are GPUs, allowing more concurrent tasks to handle inference requests in parallel. For example, if you set spark.task.resource.gpu.amount to 0.5, 0.33, or 0.25, then the available GPUs will be split among double, triple, or quadruple the number of tasks.

GPU indices​

For PySpark tasks, Databricks automatically remaps assigned GPU(s) to zero-based indices. For the default configuration that uses one GPU per task, you can use the default GPU without checking which GPU is assigned to the task. If you set multiple GPUs per task, for example, 4, the indices of the assigned GPUs are always 0, 1, 2, and 3. If you do need the physical indices of the assigned GPUs, you can get them from the CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES environment variable.

If you use Scala, you can get the indices of the GPUs assigned to the task from TaskContext.resources().get("gpu").

NVIDIA GPU driver, CUDA, and cuDNN​

Databricks installs the NVIDIA driver and libraries required to use GPUs on Spark driver and worker instances:

The version of the NVIDIA driver included is 535.54.03, which supports CUDA 11.0.

For the versions of the libraries included, see the release notes for the specific Databricks Runtime version you are using.

note

This software contains source code provided by NVIDIA Corporation. Specifically, to support GPUs, Databricks includes code from CUDA Samples.

NVIDIA End User License Agreement (EULA)​

When you select a GPU-enabled “Databricks Runtime Version” in Databricks, you implicitly agree to the terms and conditions outlined in the NVIDIA EULA with respect to the CUDA, cuDNN, and Tesla libraries, and the NVIDIA End User License Agreement (with NCCL Supplement) for the NCCL library.

Databricks Container Services on GPU compute​

You can use Databricks Container Services on compute with GPUs to create portable deep learning environments with customized libraries. See Customize containers with Databricks Container Service for instructions.

To create custom images for GPU compute, you must select a standard runtime version instead of Databricks Runtime ML for GPU. When you select Use your own Docker container, you can choose GPU compute with a standard runtime version. The custom images for GPU are based on the official CUDA containers, which is different from Databricks Runtime ML for GPU.

When you create custom images for GPU compute, you cannot change the NVIDIA driver version because it must match the driver version on the host machine.

The databricksruntime Docker Hub contains example base images with GPU capability. The Dockerfiles used to generate these images are located in the example containers GitHub repository, which also has details on what the example images provide and how to customize them.
