FAQPage Schema
How do I provision on-demand GPU instances for distributed ML training?

Provision on-demand GPU instances for distributed ML training by requesting resources from the Lambda Console, connecting via SSH, and using 1-Click clusters or Slurm to orchestrate multi-node workloads. This provides dedicated GPUs with persistent storage for scalable experiments.

Can I use Slurm to orchestrate multi-node clusters for scalable ML workloads?

Yes, you can use Slurm to orchestrate multi-node clusters for scalable ML workloads. The environment supports 1-Click clusters and Slurm-based orchestration to manage distributed training tasks across multiple nodes provisioned via the Lambda Console.

Do I need SSH access to run experiments on cloud GPU infrastructure?

Yes, you need SSH access to connect to your cloud GPU infrastructure and run experiments. After provisioning an instance from the Lambda Console, SSH access is required to navigate the pre-installed Lambda Stack and begin your ML workflow.

Does Lambda Labs GPU Cloud support persistent storage for model checkpointing?

Lambda Labs GPU Cloud supports persistent storage for model checkpointing through its Lambda filesystems. This enables seamless data retention and checkpointing across experiments, ensuring data persists even when instances are terminated.

What is included in the pre-installed environment for reproducible ML workflows?

The pre-installed environment for reproducible ML workflows includes the Lambda Stack, which comes with PyTorch, TensorFlow, and CUDA pre-configured. This allows you to start training and deploying models immediately without manual software setup.

What are the prerequisites for using cloud GPU infrastructure for ML training?

Prerequisites for using cloud GPU infrastructure for ML training include familiarity with cloud GPU provisioning, SSH access, and Lambda Stack software. Optional knowledge of 1-Click clusters is needed to orchestrate multi-node ML tasks.
