Chapter 7. Creating a hardware profile for LAB-tuning


Configure a GPU hardware profile in OpenShift AI that users can select when launching a LAB-tuning run.

A GPU hardware profile is required to run LAB-tuning workloads in OpenShift AI. LAB-tuning uses distributed training that must be scheduled on nodes with GPU resources. A GPU hardware profile allows users to target specific GPU-enabled worker nodes when launching pipelines, ensuring that training workloads run on compatible hardware.

Prerequisites

  • You are logged in to OpenShift AI as a user with administrator privileges.
  • The relevant hardware is installed and you have confirmed that it is detected in your environment.

Procedure

  1. Follow the steps described in Creating a hardware profile to create a LAB-tuning hardware profile, adapting the following configurations to your specific cluster setup:
