7月にリリースされたBitfusionですが、毎月のようにUpdateがリリースされています。
vSphere Bitfusion 2.0.2 Updated on: 08 SEP 2020
- Support for applications that register segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) handlers. This fixes an issue observed when using Caffee, a framework for deep learning.
- Fixes health check issues when using Paravirtual RDMA (PVRDMA).
- Fixes a potential freeze, or hang, when using the vSphere Bitfusion client.
- Fixes a race condition that can occur when updating vSphere Bitfusion cluster statistics.
vSphere Bitfusion 2.0.1 Updated on: 04 AUG 2020
- Fix for detecting license correctly for vSphere >= 7.0b
- Updated NVIDIA driver to version 440.95.01
- Support for multiple datacenters within a vCenter Server instance. (This does not mean that a Bitfusion Server can be supported by multiple vCenter Server instances.)
vSphere Bitfusion 2.0.0 Updated on: 09 JUL 2020
- Dynamic, remote sharing. AI/ML applications do not need to be modified or recompiled. They run on client machines as-is, but their API calls to access GPUs are intercepted and sent for execution on Bitfusion server machines that house the physical GPUs. GPUs are allocated as needed and returned to the pool when a session or application completes.
- Partial sharing. GPU memory can be partitioned into slices of arbitrary, different sizes, then allocated to different clients for concurrent use.
- vCenter Server now hosts the vSphere Bitfusion management and analytic capabilities.
まだ、新しい製品なのでFixesがほとんどで新機能追加というわけではありませんが、
安定して動くようになるのはありがたいですね。
ドキュメントもわかりやすいですが、まだまだ情報量が少ない印象なので、そのあたりも追加されることを期待しています。
