RFE - Support for GPU Operator on ARM (Specifically Nvidia Jetson AGX Xavier)

[schmaustech]

I currently have been able to deploy a development release of Red Hat OpenShift 4.9 running on RHCOS in a single node scenario on my Nvidia Jetson AGX Xavier:

I would like to be able to use the GPU-Operator to be able to access the GPU in the AGX Xavier but believe its not possible as of right now as I tried to deploy it and got the following:

$ oc get all -n gpu-operator-resources No resources found in gpu-operator-resources namespace. $ oc get all | egrep 'node|gpu' pod/gpu-operator-64df558567-r6zr8 0/1 CrashLoopBackOff 6 8m54s deployment.apps/gpu-operator 0/1 1 0 8m54s replicaset.apps/gpu-operator-64df558567 1 1 0 8m54s $ oc logs gpu-operator-64df558567-r6zr8 standard_init_linux.go:219: exec user process caused: exec format error

Is this something planned in the future?

@schmaustech I will get back to you on this.

[schmaustech]

@shivamerla Any movement or update on this?

[shivamerla]

@schmaustech Support for GPU Operator on ARM is currently targeted for Q1 2022.

[David-VTUK]

@shivamerla - Any update on this, please?

[jasonbarbee]

@shivamerla How's this going?

[shivamerla]

@jasonbarbee @David-VTUK While GPU operator v1.10.x added support for ARM platform, support for Jetson devices is not yet there. It needs changes in k8s-device-plugin and container-toolkit which is in the roadmap.

Any update here 2024?
