NVIDIA NGC

NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC) offers pre-built containers

They have both general-purpose and domain-specific offerings for machine learning and deep learning workloads on NVIDIA GPUs.

Domino enhances NGC containers for use in Domino and for general data science work.

Add Domino compatibility: Domino automatically manages code and data versioning as part of the container lifecycle and as a result we require specific additional software in the container.
Add Data Source drivers: Domino adds drivers for Data Sources such as Snowflake, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL to make it easy to connect to a Data Source without needing to manually add drivers.
Add Workspaces: When an NGC container doesn’t include an interactive notebook, Domino adds Jupyter to the image so you can interactively develop in the image. When there’s a notebook already included, Domino configures the existing notebook to work.

Domino builds the latest versions of NGC containers with a preference for Ubuntu base images. If there’s an Environment that you’re looking for which is not available, request it from ngc-request@dominodatalab.com.

Add an NGC image to Domino

Choose the NGC container from the list of available containers.
Create a new Compute Environment in Domino.
Use the link from the container you selected as the base compute Environment (for example, quay.io/domino/ngc-pytorch:20.12-py3)
