Hi Dmitri Thanks for the response.
Yes old hardware but as I said it is for a personal cluster. I have also put M2070’s in one of the 1070 chases as they are basically 4 slot PCI expansions. I have various other M2050/M2070/M2090/K20x cards around so depending on time I can certainly get more bang than the C1060’s that are in there now. I am prepared to live with the pain of older drivers, potentially having to use older linux distributions and not being able to support much beyond CUDA 2.0... Yes I could go out and purchase probably a couple of newer cards and get the same performance or better but this is more about the exercise and the learning. So maybe the hardware list was a distraction. What are people using as the predominant distro and management tools? cheers Richard > On 21 Aug 2019, at 3:08 pm, Dmitri Chubarov <dmitri.chuba...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi, > this is a very old hardware and you would have to stay with a very outdated > software stack as 1070 cards are not supported by the recent versions of > NVIDIA Drivers and old versions of NVIDIA drivers do not play well with > modern kernels and modern system libraries.Unless you are doing this for > digital preservation, consider dropping 1070s out of the equation. > > Dmitri > > > On Wed, 21 Aug 2019 at 06:46, Richard Edwards <e...@fastmail.fm > <mailto:e...@fastmail.fm>> wrote: > Hi Folks > > So about to build a new personal GPU enabled cluster and am looking for > peoples thoughts on distribution and management tools. > > Hardware that I have available for the build > - HP Proliant DL380/360 - mix of G5/G6 > - HP Proliant SL6500 with 8 GPU > - HP Proliant DL580 - G7 + 2x K20x GPU > -3x Nvidia Tesla 1070 (4 GPU per unit) > > Appreciate people insights/thoughts > > Regards > > Richard > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org <mailto:Beowulf@beowulf.org> > sponsored by Penguin Computing > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit > https://beowulf.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > <https://beowulf.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beowulf>
