Does Databricks Container Services (DCS) support for GPU containers with Databricks Runtime 11.3 LTS and higher?

I have been trying to start a cluster using DCS with GPU containers (https://github.com/databricks/containers/tree/master/ubuntu/gpu), but was only successful with Databricks Runtime 10.4 LTS and lower.

With Databricks Runtime 11.3 LTS and higher, I got the error:

"Internal error message: Spark error: Driver down cause: driver state change"

Does DCS supports GPU containers for 11.3 LTS and higher?

Hello @ppang !

Since you posted your question, the repository you shared has received an update, which includes the following warning:

"Using conda in DCS images is no longer supported starting Databricks Runtime 9.0. We highly recommend users to extend cuda-11.8 examples. We no longer support cuda-10.1 and cuda-11.0 compatibility with latest databricks runtime."

It's likely that the issue you encountered was related to a CUDA incompatibility.

Best regards,

Jéssica Santos
