# Resource Allocation
|
|
|
|
This guide helps you configure Ray Serve to:
|
|
|
|
- Scale your deployments horizontally by specifying a number of replicas
|
|
- Scale up and down automatically to react to changing traffic
|
|
- Allocate hardware resources (CPUs, GPUs, other accelerators, etc) for each deployment
|

## Resource management (CPUs, GPUs, accelerators)
|
|
|
|
You may want to specify a deployment's resource requirements to reserve cluster resources like GPUs or other accelerators. To assign hardware resources per replica, you can pass resource requirements to `ray_actor_options`. By default, each replica reserves one CPU. To learn about options to pass in, take a look at the [Resources with Actors guide](actor-resource-guide).
|
|
|
|
For example, to create a deployment where each replica uses a single GPU, you can do the following:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
@serve.deployment(ray_actor_options={"num_gpus": 1})
|
|
def func(*args):
|
|
return do_something_with_my_gpu()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or if you want to create a deployment where each replica uses another type of accelerator such as an HPU, follow the example below:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
@serve.deployment(ray_actor_options={"resources": {"HPU": 1}})
|
|
def func(*args):
|
|
return do_something_with_my_hpu()
|
|
```

### Fractional CPUs and fractional GPUs
|
|
|
|
To do this, the resources specified in `ray_actor_options` can be *fractional*. For example, if you have two models and each doesn't fully saturate a GPU, you might want to have them share a GPU by allocating 0.5 GPUs each.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
@serve.deployment(ray_actor_options={"num_gpus": 0.5})
|
|
def func_1(*args):
|
|
return do_something_with_my_gpu()
|
|
|
|
@serve.deployment(ray_actor_options={"num_gpus": 0.5})
|
|
def func_2(*args):
|
|
return do_something_with_my_gpu()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this example, each replica of each deployment will be allocated 0.5 GPUs. The same can be done to multiplex over CPUs, using `"num_cpus"`.
|
|
|
|
### Custom resources, accelerator types, and more
|
|
|
|
You can also specify {ref}`custom resources <cluster-resources>` in `ray_actor_options`, for example to ensure that a deployment is scheduled on a specific node. For example, if you have a deployment that requires 2 units of the `"custom_resource"` resource, you can specify it like this:
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
@serve.deployment(ray_actor_options={"resources": {"custom_resource": 2}})
|
|
def func(*args):
|
|
return do_something_with_my_custom_resource()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can also specify {ref}`accelerator types <accelerator-types>` via the `accelerator_type` parameter in `ray_actor_options`.
|
|
|
|
Below is the full list of supported options in `ray_actor_options`; please see the relevant Ray Core documentation for more details about each option:
|
|
|
|
- `accelerator_type`
|
|
- `memory`
|
|
- `num_cpus`
|
|
- `num_gpus`
|
|
- `object_store_memory`
|
|
- `resources`
|
|
- `runtime_env`

## Configuring parallelism with OMP_NUM_THREADS
|
|
|
|
Deep learning models like PyTorch and Tensorflow often use multithreading when performing inference. The number of CPUs they use is controlled by the `OMP_NUM_THREADS` environment variable. Ray sets `OMP_NUM_THREADS=<num_cpus>` by default. To [avoid contention](omp-num-thread-note), Ray sets `OMP_NUM_THREADS=1` if `num_cpus` is not specified on the tasks/actors, to reduce contention between actors/tasks which run in a single thread. If you *do* want to enable this parallelism in your Serve deployment, just set `num_cpus` (recommended) to the desired value, or manually set the `OMP_NUM_THREADS` environment variable when starting Ray or in your function/class definition.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
OMP_NUM_THREADS=12 ray start --head
|
|
OMP_NUM_THREADS=12 ray start --address=$HEAD_NODE_ADDRESS
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```{literalinclude} doc_code/managing_deployments.py
|
|
:start-after: __configure_parallism_start__
|
|
:end-before: __configure_parallism_end__
|
|
:language: python
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
:::{note}
|
|
Some other libraries may not respect `OMP_NUM_THREADS` and have their own way to configure parallelism. For example, if you're using OpenCV, you'll need to manually set the number of threads using `cv2.setNumThreads(num_threads)` (set to 0 to disable multi-threading). You can check the configuration using `cv2.getNumThreads()` and `cv2.getNumberOfCPUs()`.
