SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

On-demand GPU access and infrastructure management are pain points for ML teams; this solution provides a serverless platform to run GPU-accelerated workloads without managing hardware.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Serverless GPUs provide on-demand access to GPUs without managing physical infrastructure.
  • Python-native infrastructure definitions let you write code to describe resources and workflows.
  • Auto-scaling supports scale-to-zero and rapid upscaling to accommodate bursts.
  • Fast cold starts with Rust-based orchestration to minimize startup latency.
  • Container image caching speeds up iteration by reusing layers.
  • Web endpoints enable deploying functions as REST APIs with zero-downtime updates.

Quick Start

Install Modal and define a simple App, then deploy a GPU-enabled function to a REST API.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run serverless GPU workloads for ML inference without managing physical infrastructure?

Serverless GPU workloads run on Modal using Python-native infrastructure definitions to execute ML inference on demand. This platform applies auto-scaling and pay-per-second pricing to provide GPU access without hardware management.

How do I deploy a Modal function as a REST API endpoint for GPU-accelerated inference?

Deploy a Modal function as a REST API by defining an App and using the Modal Python SDK to annotate GPU-enabled functions. Web endpoints enable deploying these functions with zero-downtime updates for accelerated inference.

What is the best way to scale GPU-accelerated batch jobs to zero to save costs?

Scale GPU-accelerated batch jobs to zero using Modal's auto-scaling capabilities for serverless GPUs. This approach supports rapid upscaling to accommodate bursts while applying pay-per-second pricing during active execution.

Do I need the Modal Python SDK to define infrastructure for serverless GPU deployment?

Yes, the Modal Python SDK is required to define infrastructure and orchestrate serverless GPU deployment. It uses App and Function annotations within GPU-enabled runtimes to ensure deterministic, scalable execution.

Why does Modal minimize cold start latency for serverless GPU applications?

Modal minimizes cold start latency for serverless GPU applications through its Rust-based orchestration. Container image caching further speeds up iteration by reusing layers, reducing startup delays for on-demand workloads.

Can I use serverless GPUs for ML training jobs or are they limited to inference?

Serverless GPUs on Modal apply to running both ML training and inference workloads. The platform orchestrates these GPU-accelerated jobs on demand using properly defined App and Function annotations for scalable execution.
