Turbocharge workloads with new multi-instance NVIDIA GPUs on GKE

With the launch of multi-instance GPUs in GKE, now you can partition a single NVIDIA A100 GPU into up to seven instances that each have their own high-bandwidth memory, cache and compute cores. Each instance can be allocated to one container, for a maximum of seven containers per one NVIDIA A100 GPU. Further, multi-instance GPUs provide hardware isolation between containers, and consistent and predictable QoS for all containers running on the GPU. Read more.
