Inconsistent description in GPU requirements #88949

Closed jesweare closed 2 years ago

jesweare commented 2 years ago

The section Spatial Analysis container requirements contains the passage below:

To run the Spatial Analysis container, you need a compute device with a NVIDIA Tesla T4 GPU.

Implying that a T4 GPU is what is necessary. However, this description is inconsistent with other passages below from the same document:

// "Azure VM with GPU" example suggests use of K80 GPU, not T4

In our example, we will utilize an NC series VM that has one K80 GPU.

// Environment variables are provided for scenarios where the device is not using T4

Setting Name Value Description
ARCHON_GRAPH_READY_TIMEOUT 600 Add this environment variable if your GPU is not T4 or NVIDIA 2080 Ti
ORT_TENSORRT_ENGINE_CACHE_ENABLE 0 Add this environment variable if your GPU is not T4 or NVIDIA 2080 Ti

It appears the actual requirement is that the Compute Capability of the device's GPU is 6.0 or higher. Reflecting this requirement in the documentation for consistency would be appreciated.

@PatrickFarley Could you please help review the guidance and update it to be consistent for using the container?

PatrickFarley commented 2 years ago

Hi @jesweare, our recommendation is any NVIDIA CUDA Compute Capable GPU 6.0 or higher, not just T4. I've edited the doc to reflect this.
