GPU Memory or Fractional offers

[Rodrick Brown <ro...@orchard-app.com>]

Are their any plans to support GPU memory offers? 

Mesos exposes GPUs as a simple scalar resource which doesn't seem that efficient when running smaller jobs on systems with a single GPU even the ability to support fractional values would be more ideal. 

My use case is to be able to have multiple applications share the GPU at the same time.

As a side note. So long as you don't turn the cgroup devices isolator on,
there is nothing preventing your tasks from just accessing the GPU on the
host without actual allocation of the resource to anyone.

Hi rodrick. There are no plans at the moment to support either fractional
GPU access or GPU memory allocation. The integration with the GPU drivers
and the Linux isolation methods just isn't there yet.

That said, in the upcoming 1.1 release, we have added support for 'Task
Groups' (a.k.a. Pods). So you could make all of the Tasks that you want to
share access to a GPU part of the same task group.
