Description
All,
I have a system with multiple GPUs. I want my apptainer to only have access to one of the GPUs (#2). According to,
https://apptainer.org/docs/user/1.2/gpu.html#
I should be able to use,
APPTAINERENV_CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=2 apptainer exec --nv <my_container_image>.sif bash -c "nvidia-smi"
but when I run this I see all my GPUs listed.
How can I isolate the container to only use specified GPUs? The documented method is not working for me.
Thanks.
~$ apptainer --version
apptainer version 1.2.5Expected behavior
I expected APPTAINERENV_CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=2 apptainer exec --nv <my_container_image>.sif bash -c "nvidia-smi" to only include a single GPU in the list.
Actual behavior
All GPUs on my system were included.
Steps to reproduce this behavior
APPTAINERENV_CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=2 apptainer exec --nv <my_container_image>.sif bash -c "nvidia-smi"
