Nvidia lets you build your own AI clusters locally with PAIR software

Nvidia has released a free beta tool, Nvidia Personal AI router (PAIR), that lets users build an AI inferencing cluster from disparate PCs on the same network, accessible from a single interface. The software connects devices running Windows, macOS, or Linux, and works with DGX Spark desktop supercomputers, PCs with RTX GPUs, and some macOS devices, processing workloads in parallel without creating a virtual GPU. The beta is available for download now.

Nvidia has released a free tool that will enable users to build an AI inferencing cluster from disparate PCs on the same network, accessible from a single interface. Released as a beta, Nvidia Personal AI router PAIR connects devices running Windows, macOS or Linux to process AI inferencing workloads privately. While the system is aimed primarily at home users, it could find favour with enterprises looking to put idle desktop compute capacity to use. PAIR works with DGX Spark desktop supercomputer https://www.computerworld.com/article/4072897/nvidias-dgx-spark-desktop-supercomputer-is-on-sale-now-but-hard-to-find.html s, PCs containing RTX GPUs, and some MacOS devices. The systems in the cluster run tasks in parallel, but PAIR does not turn them into a virtual GPU, Nvidia said. The beta version of Nvidia PAIR is available for download https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/ai-on-rtx/personal-ai-router/ now. This article first appeared on Network World.
