Original Behavior
VISIBLE_DEVICES
in shell for tinygrad to accept choice of GPUs.0
,linux_device_capabilities()
will fetch only index 0 (this was hardcoded in).New Behavior
--gpu
followed by an integer. If parsed incorrectly or omitted, it will default to0
.VISIBLE_DEVICES
in the parent environment is effectively abstracted away from the user, so if they want to pick a device, they can pick only one for the instance.*topology.py
).*Users can run multiple GPUs at once by running multiple instances of exo. This workaround I wrote may be obsolete if we implement multi-GPU in a single instance of exo, but for now, this will allow users to take advantage of multiple GPUs in one device.
