Bitfusion Tech Preview
One of the most impressive bits of technology that was announced at VMworld
last year was the Bitfusion Tech Preview.
It seems that AI and ML (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) are
being talked about more and more these days and along with these new
technologies comes new challenges. New GPUs needed to run these new
workloads are required but they are not particularly cheap especially
when installed in all the hosts where you want your workloads to run.
So essentially, Bitfusion allows GPUs on dedicated hosts to be
dynamically assigned to VMs / Containers as and when needed and then removed
after they are no longer required. This reminds me so much of how
virtualisation solved the problem of inefficient hardware utilisation
when ESX was introduced all those years ago.
Anyway here is a really great explanation about what the problem is and how
Bitfusion will solve it here...
With an in depth explanation of the architecture here...
And then a demo here...
All in all, an incredible technology and definitely one to look out for.
