NVIDIA has announced the signing of an agreement to acquire Run:ai, a startup from Israel that specializes in managing the infrastructure for running artificial intelligence workloads on Kubernetes. The announcement did not disclose the value and duration of the deal, although there have been rumors of figures ranging from hundreds of millions to billions of dollars.
Run:ai’s platform is used to manage which services consume how much resources, allowing for quota allocation, CPU sharing across applications, or pooling CPUs from multiple machines for use in a single application. Overall, the platform strives to optimize GPU utilization in organizations as efficiently as possible.
Existing customers of Run:ai will continue to have access to the service, but this announcement indicates that NVIDIA intends to integrate Run:ai’s platform into NVIDIA DGX Cloud.
