002: HW Validation List

Summary

This note shares the list of validated hardware configurations. Note that our open source community never guarantee it works fine. This list just informs you the following hardware configuration passed the validation test sponsored by the provider. Please contact to the provider for shipping availability and commercial support.

List of supported GPU models

GPU Model	Tested	Architecture	Bus	CC	# of SM	RAM size	Memory Band	Memo
Tesla A100	Yes	Ampere	PCI-E 4.0	8.0	108	40GB HBM2e	1555GB/s
Tesla V100s		Volta	PCI-E 3.0	7.0	80	32GB HBM2	1133GB/s
Tesla V100	Yes	Volta	PCI-E 3.0	7.0	80	32GB HBM2	897GB/s
Tesla V100	Yes	Volta	PCI-E 3.0	7.0	80	16GB HBM2	897GB/s
Tesla P100	Yes	Pascal	PCI-E 3.0	6.0	56	16GB HBM2	732GB/s
Tesla P100		Pascal	PCI-E 3.0	6.0	56	12GB HBM2	549GB/s
Tesla P40	Yes	Pascal	PCI-E 3.0	6.1	30	24GB GDDR5X	694GB/s

Except for the above models, device does not support GPUDirect RDMA or does not provide enough space of PCI-E Bar1 area; that is a basis of GPUDirect SQL.

As long as you don't use GPUDirect SQL, PG-Strom may be workable on the GPU devices at Pascal or newer. But we don't have test and environment for reproduction on these devices. Please enjoy your own risks.
