#115 - GPU resource management for AI workloads with Frank Denneman!

About this episode

Frank Denneman discusses GPU resource management for AI workloads and its differences from CPU and memory management in vSphere.

Recently, Frank published a series of blog posts on GPU resource management. I invited Frank to the show to explain why GPU resource management is different than CPU and memory management in vSphere. Frank goes over all the intricate details, and as always, dives deep into the various constructs involved. I highly recommend reading the articles which are part of the following series, and make sure to also check the tool Frank developed, as this helps visualizing the challenges you may face today, or potentially in the future! https://frankdenneman.ai/ai-infrastructure/ https://frankdenneman.ai/understanding-ai-memory/ https://frankdenneman.ai/tools/
