DCGMI Workload Profiles

The following profiles run DCGMI for qualifying GPUs.

QUAL-GPU-DCGMI.json

DCGM is part of the Nvidia GPU Deployment Kit and is designed to work with Nvidia's Tesla GPU accelerators, which are commonly used in data centers for high-performance computing and other GPU-accelerated workloads. This profile is designed to identify general/broad regressions when compared against a baseline by validating few tests as part of Active health checks.

  • Supported Platform/Architectures

    • linux-x64
  • Supports Disconnected Scenarios

    • No. Internet connection required.
  • Dependencies
    The dependencies defined in the 'Dependencies' section of the profile itself are required in order to run the workload operations effectively.

    • Internet connection.
    • This monitor has dependency on Nvidia Driver Installation and nvidia-dcgm installation [DCGMI installation - Version 3.1].

    Additional information on components that exist within the 'Dependencies' section of the profile can be found in the following locations:

  • Profile Parameters
