Domain 3.1: Deploying and implementing Compute Engine resources — GCP ACE Practice Question 21

How to approach this question

Identify the software requirements for utilizing NVIDIA GPUs inside a VM.

Full Answer

Install the NVIDIA GPU drivers on the guest OS., Install the CUDA toolkit/libraries on the guest OS.

When you attach a GPU to a Compute Engine instance, it is presented as hardware to the guest OS. To use it, you must install the NVIDIA device drivers. For machine learning workloads, you also need to install the CUDA toolkit/libraries, which provide the programming interface for the GPU.

Common mistakes

Assuming GCP automatically installs drivers on all OS images (only specific Deep Learning VM images have them pre-installed).

You are deploying a machine learning model on Compute Engine that requires GPU acceleration. You have created a VM and attached an NVIDIA Tesla T4 GPU.
