libnvidia-container

So kubernetes and mesos (mesosphere is a company, not a product. Mesos is the software) use control groups and linux namespaces colloquially known as "containers" to manage things. In the upstream linux kernel, there is no real concept of a "container", it is just used really for marketing. There is currently no support in the nvidia kernel module or in upstream linux for cgroup support of GPUs although nvidia is working upstream with Mesosphere on just this. The way a lot of HPC firms do this is using a normal job scheduler (Torque/Maui, SLURM, Univa Grid Engine, etc) with a GPU resource. Then the users use said GPU resource on an honor system more or less and it works provided you don't have malicious users. Nvidia is working on making this less of a hack, but currently it is very much a hack: https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-container-

Yes. Ignore the naysayers :-) Check out VirtuaGL and TurboVNC. It is possible to run these two things inside a docker container, install a DE and accelerate a GUI app. I've been doing it for quite a while. Also for all those checking the OPs original lib out. It does work and it is great and also probably the most mature option, but my understanding is that future focus for GPU inside containers is with this newer lib, also looked after by Nvidia: https://github.com/NVIDIA/libnvidia-container I'm fairly familiar with this stuff, though not an expert, for my startup http://realityzero.one. But, I've not been paying that much attention to this area of late, so if I've got this wrong then please feel free to correct me. Perhaps they're for different things. I know there's been some discussion from the k8n crowd about the newer lib in k8n's g
