GPU Test Deployments

Overview

Use any of the Akash deployment tools covered here for your Provider test deployments.

NOTE - this section covers GPU specific deployment testing and verificaiton of your Akash Provider. In addition, general Provider verifications can be made via this Provider Checkup guide.

Example GPU SDL #1

NOTE - in this example the deployer is requesting bids from only Akash Providers that have available NVIDIA A4000 GPUs. Adjust accordingly for your provider testing.

Example GPU SDL #2

NOTE - there is currently an issue with GPU deployments closing once their primary process completes. Due to this issue the example SDL below causes repeated container resarts. The container will restart when the stable diffusion task has completed. When this issue has been resolved, GPU containers will remain running perpetually and will not close when the primary process defined in the SDL completes.

NOTE - the CUDA version necessary for this image is 11.7 currently. Check the image documentation page here for possible updates.

NOTE - in this example the deployer is requesting bids from only Akash Providers that have available NVIDIA A4000 GPUs
