Python class

Accelerator

`Accelerator`

class max.driver.Accelerator(self, id: int = -1)

source

Bases: Device

Creates an accelerator device with the specified ID and memory limit.

Provides access to GPU or other hardware accelerators in the system.

Repeated instantiations with a previously-used device-id will still refer to the first such instance that was created. This is especially important when providing a different memory limit: only the value (implicitly or explicitly) provided in the first such instantiation is effective.

from max import driver
device = driver.Accelerator()
# Or specify GPU id
device = driver.Accelerator(id=0)  # First GPU
device = driver.Accelerator(id=1)  # Second GPU
# Get device id
device_id = device.id

Parameters:: id (int, optional) – The device ID to use. Defaults to -1, which selects the first available accelerator.
Returns:: A new Accelerator device object.
Return type:: Accelerator
