You can use resource quotas to allocate general computing resources. After you associate a resource quota with a workspace, you can use the corresponding resources to run AI development and training jobs. This topic describes how to create, manage, and use general computing resource quotas.
Prerequisites
A dedicated resource group for general computing resources is created, and general computing resources are purchased. For more information, see Create a resource group and purchase general computing resources.
Create a resource quota
You can create a resource quota to allocate the general computing resources that you purchased. To create a resource quota, perform the following steps:
Log on to the PAI console. In the left-side navigation pane, choose AI Computing Resources > Resource Quota.
On the General Computing Resources tab, click Add Resource Quota.
On the Add Resource Quota page, configure the parameters and then click Submit. The following table describes the parameters.
Parameter
Description
Name
The name of the resource quota.
Scheduling Policy
The scheduling policy that you want to use to improve resource utilization. Valid values:
Intelligent
Balance
Round Robin
FIFO
For information about differences between the scheduling policies, see Scheduling policies.
Associate Workspace
The workspace with which the resource quota is associated.
Description
The description that is used to distinguish the resource quota from other quotas.
Source Type
The type of resources that are used to create the resource quota. Valid values:
Dedicated Resource Group: Resources from a dedicated resource group are used to create the resource quota.
Existing Resource Quota: Resources from an existing resource quota are used to create the resource quota.
Source
The source of resources that are used to create the resource quota. Select a dedicated resource group or an existing resource quota from the drop-down list.
Specifications/Resources
Specifications of the resources used to create the resource quota. To configure this parameter, click Add. In the panel that appears, select a node type and the number of nodes for the resources that you want to allocate from a dedicated resource group or an existing resource quota.
Manage resource quotas
After you create a resource quota, you can click the name of the resource quota to view the basic information and resource usage information. You can also scale the resource quota or create child-level resource quotas to optimize resource allocation. For more information, see Manage resource quotas.
Use a resource quota
Associate a resource quota with a workspace
Before you use a resource quota to run AI development and training jobs, you must associate the resource quota with a workspace. For more information, see Overview.
Use a resource quota that is associated with a workspace
Submit a Deep Learning Container (DLC) training job. For more information, see Submit training jobs.
Create a Data Science Workshop (DSW) instance. For more information, see Create and manage DSW instances.
