Description

Is this related to a problem? Please describe.

NVCF workload configuration is centered on GPU-backed instance types, even when a workload does not require a GPU.

Describe the solution you'd like

Support declaring and scheduling CPU-only functions and tasks on eligible non-GPU capacity.

Definition of Done

  • Supported function and task packaging can declare that no GPU is required.
  • CPU and memory resources for CPU-only workloads use documented configuration and validation rules.
  • The scheduler places CPU-only workloads only on eligible capacity without changing placement for existing GPU workloads.
  • API and CLI validation reject incompatible CPU-only and GPU settings with actionable errors.
  • Automated tests cover creation, placement, invocation or execution, and cleanup for CPU-only workloads.
  • Public usage and operator guidance documents supported configurations and limitations.
