Support for GPU's on Rancher-Desktop (MAC) #5561

Open donovat opened 11 months ago

donovat commented 11 months ago

Problem Description

Request investigation and documentation into supporting GPU's by Rancher-desktop. It would be great if the Rancher-desktop documentation included help and advice in supporting GPU's on both MAC's (M!) and I expect Windows. - i.e. Do we need to follow the NVIDIA toolkit suggestions for installing with docker? or the suggestion for installing with kubernetes?

GPU support will become an increasing requirement for many applications, especially those using Machine Learning, and python tool kits like Cuda etc.

Proposed Solution

Documentation examples, FAQ's etc .. in supporting GPU's by Rancher Desktop.

Additional Information

No response

ps. Can see that this issue would be linked to CUDA support (WSL) #3968

I'm curious how you could utilize the Apple GPUs from a Linux VM. Are there any tools/libraries that would use them?

Hi @jandubois - in truth I am not sure if you can or cannot. However, some one way have already looked into this problem, and could thus include info into this issue. Either way a doc/FAQ update would help people know the current state of play.
