             Summary: [Umbrella] Natively support GPU configuration/discovery/scheduling/isolation on YARN
                 Key: YARN-6223
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-6223
             Project: Hadoop YARN
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Wangda Tan
            Assignee: Wangda Tan


As varieties of workloads are moving to YARN, including machine learning / deep learning which can speed up by leveraging GPU computation power. Workloads should be able to request GPU from YARN as simple as CPU and memory.

To make a complete GPU story, we should support following pieces:
1) GPU discovery/configuration: Admin can either config GPU resources and architectures on each node, or more advanced, NodeManager can automatically discover GPU resources and architectures and report to ResourceManager 

2) GPU scheduling: YARN scheduler should account GPU as a resource type just like CPU and memory.

3) GPU isolation/monitoring: once launch a task with GPU resources, NodeManager should properly isolate and monitor task's resource usage.

For #2, YARN-3926 can support it natively. For #3, YARN-3611 has introduced an extensible framework to support isolation for different resource types and different runtimes.

There're a couple of JIRAs (YARN-4122/YARN-5517) filed with similar goals but different solutions:

For scheduling:
- YARN-4122/YARN-5517 are all adding a new GPU resource type to Resource protocol instead of leveraging YARN-3926.

For isolation:
- And YARN-4122 proposed to use CGroups to do isolation which cannot solve the problem listed at https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker/wiki/GPU-isolation#challenges such as minor device number mapping; load nvidia_uvm module; mismatch of CUDA/driver versions, etc.
