Today Lablup Inc. announced that Backend.AI, a solution that efficiently leverages cloud and data center compute resources to run and manage large-scale computational workloads, including large-scale artificial intelligence (AI) model development and high-performance computing, is the first in Asia Pacific to be certified as NVIDIA DGX-Ready Software.

NVIDIA DGX-Ready Software is a validated, enterprise-grade software solution that is fully tested and certified for use on clusters of NVIDIA DGX systems, and Backend.AI is the first company in Asia Pacific to be certified.

Backend.AI optimizes the performance of NVIDIA DGX systems and accelerated computing, including NVIDIA GPUs, to efficiently manage compute resources to maximize GPU utilization without changing the user experience. In addition, Backend.AI has its own patented container-based GPU partitioned virtualization technology, which allows users to partition expensive GPUs into multiple GPUs as needed to maximize GPU usage.
