Is it possible a similar patch would work for P2P on 3090s?

btw, I found a Gigabyte board on Taobao that is unlisted on their site: MZF2-AC0, costs $900. 2 socket Epyc and 10 PCIE slots, may be of interest. A case that should fit, with 2x 2000W Great Wall PSUs and PDU is 4050 RMB (https://www.toploong.com/en/4GPU-server-case/644.html). You still need blower GPUs.



It should if your 3090s have Resizable BAR support in the VBIOS. AFAIK most card manufacturers released BIOS updates enabling this.

Re: 3090 NVLink, that only allows pairs of cards to be connected. PCIe allows full fabric switch of many cards.


In cases where they didn't, the techpowerup vBIOS collection solves the problem.


Thanks for the amazing work! I tried the driver with some 3090s (all of which show the 32G line with lspci -s 01:00.0 -v) and while torch says I have p2p access, I can't get it to work with anything as I get illegal memory access errors.


Update, I checked with the case company, toploong, they say that board is a 5mm too big or so for the case.


Doesn't nvlink work natively on 3090s? I thought it was only removed (and here re-enabled) in 4090.


This not not nvlink.
