GNI

GPU Node ID (GNI) is a rust based library for creating an identifier for the set of GPUs running on the host. The ID is generated by hashing (blake3) all GPU UUIDs sorted lexicographically. GNI provides a consistent implementation for calculating and retrieving the ID, with bindings to a set of languages (Python, Go, C, CPP) to ensure a consistent and startardized approach to using this ID.

Rust Build and Running GNI

Prerequisites

• Rust & Cargo: Make sure you have a recent version of Rust (and the built-in Cargo tool) installed. You can check by running:

$ rustc --version
$ cargo --version

If you need to install Rust, visit rustup.rs.

Build

$ cargo build

See build artifacts in the target/debug directory.

Run

$ cargo run
...
Usage: gni [OPTIONS]

Options:
  -c, --cache-filepath <CACHE_FILEPATH>  Filepath to cache ID [default: /tmp/gni]
  -s, --stdout                           Print ID to stdout
  -h, --help                             Print help
  -V, --version                          Print version

Non Rust usage

GNI offers the same core functionality for each supported language, provides bindings, and you can build from source for:

• c
• cpp
• go
• python

Note: If you’d like support for another language, please open an issue or submit a pull request!
