Hardware accelerators

Accelerator metering and billing

ACP integrates with Cost Management to make Whole GPU, Whole NPU, and HAMi Virtual GPU usage available for metering and billing. See Accelerator Metering and Billing for the resource-specific Cost Management guides.

Use this section to choose the right accelerator path for container workloads, understand the ACP concepts that affect resource requests, and continue to the product documentation for installation, upgrade, compatibility, and troubleshooting.

Start from the scenario closest to your task. Vendor integrations prepare hardware, drivers, runtimes, and direct allocation. Sharing and scheduling products such as HAMi build on those integrations to provide sharing, virtualization, scheduling, or resource orchestration behavior.
