Custom Compute Cluster

Question

Custom Compute Cluster

Jonathan van Westendorp 20

Hi,

I want to create a compute cluster in Azure ML that has one vGPU and can scale its vCPU's within the specified min and max. Is this possible? And can someone explain how this can be done or point me to a tutorial?

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, you cannot create a compute cluster with a single vGPU that can scale its vCPUs independently in Azure ML. The available VM sizes in Azure are predefined with a fixed ratio of vCPUs, memory, and GPU resources. However, you can create a compute cluster with different VM sizes that can scale within a specified range of nodes, depending on your requirements

Thank you for your answer. I was indeed hinting towards a compute cluster with different VM sizes. So this is possible? I cannot find examples of this online, and the Portal won't let me do this. Is this information somewhere in the link you sent? I cannot find it there either.

@Jonathan van Westendorp I think the above answer is partially correct where in the sizes are pre-defined and the scaling happens based on only the size that was initially selected. We cannot create a cluster with more than one VM type or size. Please see the screenshot below that confirms the same from the compute cluster documentation.
