Error on restoring application in docker containers with partial GPU passthrough #12

Open alexfrolov opened 4 months ago

alexfrolov commented 4 months ago

Hi!

I have been testing cuda-checkpoint for CR inside docker containers and found out that when not all nvidia devices are used in the container cuda-checkpoint fails to restore application, while it works perfectly well when all --gpus all is specified. It seems that the driver does not support this scenario. Is it possible to add this functionality?

Best, Alex

alexndrfrolov@cuda-cr-v100:~$ sudo docker run --rm -ti --gpus '"device=0"' -v /home/alexndrfrolov/cuda-checkpoint:/cuda-checkpoint nvcr.io/nvidia/cuda:12.5.1-runtime-ubuntu22.04 bash

We're looking to add support for this in a future release.
