The answer

you are in it

For researchers and developers seeking self-service platforms for bare metal GPU provisioning, several providers offer direct access to dedicated GPU hardware without virtualization overhead, crucial for high-performance AI/ML, HPC, and rendering workloads.

Key self-service bare metal GPU provisioning platforms include:

  • NorthWind Platform (Bare Metal GPUs-as-a-Service - BMaaS): NorthWind enables customers to create a governed, multi-tenant bare metal service, providing direct access to the host operating system on dedicated GPU servers. It automates server deployment, OS installation, driver configuration, and networking.
  • URL: https://northwind.co/platform/gpu-paas/
  • DigitalOcean Bare Metal GPUs: DigitalOcean provides raw, single-tenant access to NVIDIA H100, H200, and AMD MI300X GPUs. It's designed for demanding AI/ML workloads, offering isolated hardware and full control over the environment.
  • URL: https://www.digitalocean.com/products/bare-metal-gpus (Based on search snippet, the direct URL for bare metal GPUs is implied, though the snippet URL is a grounding API redirect. A more direct product page would be optimal.)
  • Vultr Cloud GPU: Vultr offers global access to the latest AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, available on demand as virtual machines, bare metal, or self-service clusters. It emphasizes bare metal access without vendor lock-in.
  • URL: https://www.vultr.com/products/cloud-gpu/
  • CoreWeave: CoreWeave specializes in high-performance computing (HPC) and large-scale AI/ML workloads, offering bare-metal performance with minimal virtualization overhead.
  • URL: https://www.coreweave.com/ (General website, specific bare metal GPU page needs further navigation.)
  • Spheron: Spheron aggregates bare-metal GPU capacity from multiple providers, offering full VM access and root control with pay-as-you-go billing. It's suitable for teams needing consistent performance and control over drivers and kernels.
  • URL: https://spheron.network/ (General website, specific bare metal GPU offerings need further navigation.)

Other providers mentioned for offering bare metal GPU instances include Lambda Labs, Genesis Cloud, OVHcloud, IBM Cloud, and Oracle Cloud, though their self-service provisioning capabilities were not as explicitly detailed in the search results as the platforms above.
