GPU Containers

Definition

GPU Containers are virtualized software packages that bundle applications and their dependencies to run efficiently on Graphics Processing Units. These containers allow for portable and consistent execution of GPU-accelerated workloads, which are vital for computationally intensive tasks such as machine learning, data analytics, and certain types of cryptographic operations. By abstracting the underlying hardware, they simplify deployment and management of complex software environments across various computing infrastructures. This technology is particularly relevant for decentralized networks requiring significant parallel processing power.
