Using GPU compute resources in a student account

Question

Using GPU compute resources in a student account

Muhammed Aldulaimi 10

Context

I have a Microsoft student developer account.

I need to do university related research using Llama models

My goal was to deploy a Llama model using the following process:

Create a VM with GPU
Access the VM using SSH
Download the Llama model and run it in the VM

Issue

It appears that I do not have enough quota to deploy a GPU Virtual Machine.

I tried clicking on the link to view and increase my quota

From my current understanding, I would need to increase the NV and NC family's quotas, but I cannot increase the quota above 6

I do not understand if

How to exactly increase the quota
Which family's quotas do I need to increase
If I need to increase dedicated cores or low priority cores

The process has been confusing for me. I would appreciate if someone could enlighten me on how to solve my issue. Thank you

Muhammed Aldulaimi Greetings & Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum!

How to exactly increase the quota

To request a limit increase, create an Azure Support request.

Unfortunately, Free subscriptions including Azure Free Account and Azure for Students aren't eligible for limit or quota increases.

If you have a free subscription, you can upgrade to a Pay-As-You-Go subscription. Default limit for Pay-As-You-Go subscription. Limit may differ for other category types.

Hi there,

I have the same issue on both my student account and business account. I am able to request a larger quota, but how do I get it to include GPUs if there are only CPU options on screen? Wasn't sure about this. In the request quota section i have the environment location East US 2 which to my knowledge should have GPUs. Hence I am only able to ask for an increase in quota for CPU nodes not GPU. Please help
