How to set up GPUs

To set up the GPU for Virtu Network, you need to provide the following:

1. VM ID (Virtual Machine ID):

Purpose: This is a unique identifier for the virtual machine instance.

How to Get

Guidelines for Naming VM IDs:

1. Uniqueness:

The name must be unique within the scope of your account or the platform's VM registry.

1. Allowed Characters:

Use alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9).

1. Length Limit:

Ensure the name fits within the character limit specified by the platform (e.g., 1–64 characters is common).

1. Descriptive Names:

Choose a meaningful name to make it easier to manage multiple VMs, for example:

gpu-training-node1 image-rendering-vm projectA-VM1

This will be a new setup and the interface you're using allows custom names, feel free to name it as you like! Just ensure it meets the above conditions.

1. SSH Keys:

Purpose: Securely authenticate and access the virtual machine. These keys ensure a secure connection for managing the rented GPU.

How to Get

If you already have SSH keys, locate them on your local machine (e.g., ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub for Linux/Mac or a similar directory on Windows).

If you don't have SSH keys:

1. Generate a new SSH key pair using the command:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[e-mail]"

1. This generates a public key (id_rsa.pub) and a private key (id_rsa). Use the public key here.

Extra Info:

GPU Compatibility: Ensure the GPU you are renting is compatible with the workload you plan to run.
