GPU Trader Templates: Simplifying GPU Workloads

AI is moving quickly and staying up to date can be a challenge; efficiency and ease of deployment are essential to helping you keep up and use capacity quickly. At GPU Trader, we strive to make accessing and utilizing GPUs seamless and effective. One of the ways we achieve this is through our template system, which allows users to quickly (less than 2 minutes) deploy GPU workloads with minimal setup. GPU Trader templates are structured as Docker Compose files, ensuring flexibility and ease of deployment. Templates help with:

• Faster Deployment: Whether using managed or custom templates, you can reduce setup time and focus on execution.
• Consistency: Templates ensure that environments remain consistent across deployments, reducing errors and compatibility issues.
• Scalability: Deploy workloads at scale with a few clicks, making it easy to expand your computing power as needed.

We offer two types of templates:

1. Managed Templates: Pre-configured by GPU Trader, continuously updated, and optimized for performance on our platform.
2. Custom Templates: User-defined templates that provide flexibility for specific workload needs.

Let’s dive into how these templates work and how they can enhance your experience on GPU Trader.

Managed Templates: Hassle-Free, Optimized Performance

Managed Templates are designed for users who want a quick and reliable way to deploy GPU workloads without worrying about configuration issues. These templates are:

• Maintained by GPU Trader: We ensure they are always up to date and compatible with our infrastructure.
• Optimized for Performance: Managed templates leverage best practices to ensure workloads run efficiently.
• Easy to Deploy: No need for users to configure settings, just select a template and start using it immediately.

With Managed Templates, businesses can focus on running their applications rather than spending time on defining and managing a complex setup process.

Custom Templates: Tailored to Your Needs

For users who require greater flexibility, Custom Templates allow for personalized configurations that fit specific workload needs. However, due to security constraints, certain elements are restricted to maintain system integrity and prevent abuse. Here’s how they work:

• User-Defined Configurations: Choose the software stack, dependencies, and settings that suit your application.
• Reusable for Future Deployments: Once created, a custom template can be reused, saving time on repeated configurations.
• Fine-Tuned for Your Workloads: Customize resource allocation, libraries, and optimizations to match your unique requirements.

Creating a Custom Template in GPU Trader

To create a custom template, follow these steps:

1. Define Your Environment: Select the required OS, software stack, and dependencies.
2. Specify Hardware Requirements: Choose the GPU type and resources needed.
3. Save and Deploy: Once configured, save the template and use it for future instances.
