  • Requires persistent storage on GPU cluster, a blocker for bare metal

    From 1 comment
    • Your Github repo says you need 120 GB of persistent storage, but our bare metal GPU clusters only have local storage. Would like to try your thing, but hosting the data with the…

  • Name is similar to AWS Neuron/NeuronX

  • Is Kubernetes a good abstraction for GPU compute given shortages

    From 1 comment
    • Kubernetes is now kinda a bad abstraction for accelerated compute with the GPU shortages

  • Prometheus and Grafana

    • this feels like grafana with extra steps

    • GPU observability is broken, so we built Neurox. When I co-founded Mezmo (a Series D observability platform), we obsessed over logs, metrics, and traces. I learned firsthand how…
