VMware vSphere 7.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design 2021) — Question 71
An organization's data scientists are executing a plan to use machine learning (ML). They must have access to graphical processing unit (GPU) capabilities to execute their computational models when needed. The solutions architect needs to design a solution to ensure that GPUs can be shared by multiple virtual machines.
Which two solutions should the architect recommend to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
Answer options
- A. NVIDIA vGPU
- B. AMD MxGPU
- C. vSphere DirectPath I/O
- D. vSGA
- E. vSphere Bitfusion
Correct answer: A, E
Explanation
NVIDIA vGPU and vSphere Bitfusion are both effective solutions for enabling GPU sharing among multiple virtual machines, making them suitable for the organization's machine learning requirements. In contrast, AMD MxGPU is not as commonly used in virtualized environments as NVIDIA solutions, while vSphere DirectPath I/O and vSGA do not offer the same level of GPU sharing functionality that is crucial for the data scientists' needs.
