GPU NVlink bridge support?

Hardware and Performance
1

Hello!
We recently installed a NVlink on one of our workstations:
[NVLink & NVSwitch:Advanced Multi-GPU Systems | NVIDIA]

Does cryosparc support this?
If so: how do we get cryosparc to recognize the link?
If not: any plans to do so in the future? :slight_smile:

thanks!
Ben

@BWise At the moment, none of the algorithms are limited by inter-GPU communication. NVLink support is not currently on our roadmap.

@wtempel OK, but wouldn’t some jobs benefit from the the larger VRAM that would result from linking multiple GPUs?

I just wonder if it is still true today that CryoSPARC does not support NVLink bridge on NVIDIA GPU. Thank you!

As far as I know, NVLINK is still not supported. Also, nVidia no longer provide NVLINK connectors on any discrete consumer or workstation GPU - or at least they were removed with the Ada generation cards - uncertain about Grace/Hopper, integrated solutions, etc…

Thanks for letting me know! It is very helpful!
