Run a Case on Virtual GPU

Run a Case on Virtual GPU#

This example demonstrates how to submit a simulation case to the Virtual GPU (vGPU) queue instead of the standard FlexCredits pay-as-you-go queue. Use billing_method="VirtualGPU" to route the job through your daily vGPU allocation, and priority to control its scheduling order relative to other queued jobs.

import flow360 as fl

project = fl.Project.from_cloud("PROJECT_ID_HERE")

params: fl.SimulationParams = project.params

# Submit to the Virtual GPU queue with high scheduling priority
project.run_case(
    params=params,
    name="My vGPU case",
    billing_method="VirtualGPU",
    priority=8,
)

Notes#

  • billing_method accepts "VirtualGPU" or "FlexCredit". When omitted, the account default is used.

  • priority is an integer from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest). It controls the order in which queued jobs are dispatched when vGPU slots become available. Only applies when billing_method="VirtualGPU"; it is ignored otherwise.

  • The Virtual GPU option requires an active vGPU license on your account. If no vGPU allocation is available, use billing_method="FlexCredit" instead.

  • You can monitor the queue, change job priorities, or switch a queued job to FlexCredits from the Virtual GPU Scheduler tab in Account Settings.
