Nimble GPU Hosting Opportunities ​

Nimble offers a decentralized platform where GPU owners can contribute their computing power to help with AI model training. By joining the Nimble network as a GPU host, you can assist in driving forward innovative AI solutions while earning rewards in Nimble tokens.

Steps to Become a GPU Host ​

Eligibility Check ​

Confirm that your GPUs meet the performance requirements for handling AI workloads on the Nimble platform. Please note that SSH permissions to your GPU hardware are required to ensure proper management and integration.

Software Specifications ​

  • Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS:
    • Basic Linux proficiency.
    • Ability to remotely connect via SSH.
    • Operating system: Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS (use the same file as 22.04, but select HWE during install to get Kernel 6.5.0-15, or any more recent production version).
  • BIOS:
    • For non-VM systems, ensure IOMMU is disabled in the BIOS.
    • Update the server BIOS to the latest stable version if facing compatibility issues.
  • Drivers:
    • Nvidia drivers 550.54.15 (or any more recent production version).
    • CUDA 12.4 (or any more recent production version).
    • Nvidia Persistence should be activated for GPUs of 48 GB or more.

Note: Currently, Nimble supports NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 and NVIDIA H100 GPUs only. Ensure your hardware matches these specifications to proceed.
