SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Manually provisioning cloud GPU VMs for emmy compiler workflows requires handling provider-specific configurations, capacity checks, SSH setup, and billing management, which is time-consuming and error-prone. This Skill automates the entire process, handling provider selection, capacity fallbacks, and credential validation to deliver a ready-to-use remote GPU server instantly.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Multi-Provider GPU Provisioning: Automatically provisions VMs on GCP or CloudRift with the exact GPU model and count you request, resolving hardware names and handling capacity fallbacks across zones and instance types.
  • SSH & Credential Management: Configures SSH keys, validates VM reachability, and returns connection details so you can immediately run emmy deploy or bench commands against the server.
  • Use Case: If you need to test a compiled emmy kernel on an NVIDIA H200 GPU, this Skill provisions the VM, gives you the SSH target, and provides the exact teardown command to avoid unexpected billing when you're done.

Quick Start

Use the start-remote-server skill to provision a 4x NVIDIA A100 GPU VM on GCP for running emmy benchmarks next week.

FAQPage Schema
How do I provision a remote GPU server on GCP for compiler benchmarking?

To provision a remote GPU server on GCP for compiler benchmarking, request the specific GPU model and count needed. The system automatically resolves hardware names, handles capacity fallbacks across zones, and configures SSH access to deliver a ready-to-use VM.

Can I automatically provision cloud VMs across different GPU providers if capacity is unavailable?

Yes, provisioning cloud VMs across different GPU providers supports automatic capacity fallback. If the requested GPU is unavailable in one zone or provider, the system checks alternative zones and instance types across GCP or CloudRift to secure the resources.

What is the best way to set up an SSH connection to a remote GPU VM for emmy workloads?

The best way to set up an SSH connection to a remote GPU VM for emmy workloads is using automated provisioning, which configures SSH keys, validates VM reachability, and returns exact connection details so you can immediately run deploy or bench commands.

Does provisioning a cloud GPU VM for inference testing require manual credential validation?

No, provisioning a cloud GPU VM for inference testing does not require manual credential validation. The automated process handles credential validation internally, ensuring the VM is fully reachable and ready for immediate benchmarking or deployment testing.

How do I avoid unexpected billing when testing compiled kernels on a provisioned remote GPU server?

To avoid unexpected billing when testing compiled kernels on a provisioned remote GPU server, use the exact teardown command provided by the system immediately after your benchmarking or inference testing is complete to safely decommission the VM.

When should I use automated remote server provisioning instead of manual infrastructure setup for GPU workloads?

You should use automated remote server provisioning instead of manual infrastructure setup for GPU workloads when you need to rapidly test, benchmark, or deploy emmy compiled kernels and want to eliminate time-consuming provider-specific configurations and capacity checks.
