## v1.6 and v1.7
To enable GPU support in 1.6 and 1.7, a special **alpha** feature gate
`Accelerators` has to be set to true across the system:
`--feature-gates="Accelerators=true"`. It also requires using the Docker
Engine as the container runtime.
Further, the Kubernetes nodes have to be pre-installed with NVIDIA drivers.
Kubelet will not detect NVIDIA GPUs otherwise.
When you start Kubernetes components after all the above conditions are true,
Kubernetes will expose `alpha.kubernetes.io/nvidia-gpu` as a schedulable
resource.
You can consume these GPUs from your containers by requesting
`alpha.kubernetes.io/nvidia-gpu` just like you request `cpu` or `memory`.
However, there are some limitations in how you specify the resource requirements
when using GPUs:
- GPUs are only supposed to be specified in the `limits` section, which means:
* You can specify GPU `limits` without specifying `requests` because
Kubernetes will use the limit as the request value by default.
* You can specify GPU in both `limits` and `requests` but these two values
must be equal.
* You cannot specify GPU `requests` without specifying `limits`.
- Containers (and pods) do not share GPUs. There's no overcommitting of GPUs.
- Each container can request one or more GPUs. It is not possible to request a
fraction of a GPU.
When using `alpha.kubernetes.io/nvidia-gpu` as the resource, you also have to
mount host directories containing NVIDIA libraries (libcuda.so, libnvidia.so
etc.) to the container.
Here's an example:
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
name: cuda-vector-add
spec:
restartPolicy: OnFailure
containers:
- name: cuda-vector-add
# https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/v1.7.11/test/images/nvidia-cuda/Dockerfile
image: "k8s.gcr.io/cuda-vector-add:v0.1"
resources:
limits:
alpha.kubernetes.io/nvidia-gpu: 1 # requesting 1 GPU
volumeMounts:
- name: "nvidia-libraries"
mountPath: "/usr/local/nvidia/lib64"
volumes:
- name: "nvidia-libraries"
hostPath:
path: "/usr/lib/nvidia-375"
```
The `Accelerators` feature gate and `alpha.kubernetes.io/nvidia-gpu` resource
works on 1.8 and 1.9 as well. It will be deprecated in 1.10 and removed in
1.11.
## Future
- Support for hardware accelerators in Kubernetes is still in alpha.
- Better APIs will be introduced to provision and consume accelerators in a scalable manner.
- Kubernetes will automatically ensure that applications consuming GPUs get the best possible performance.
