Question on accessing to GPU in Pipeline Runners

[Simon Lee]

We are trying to incorporate tests into the Pipeline Runners.  The software requires access to the GPU.  We tried briefly with "docker run --gpus all" and it looks like accessing to the device is not allowed.  Is this a hard restricton in Pipeline, or is there a way to get around it.

Hi @Simon Lee and welcome to the community.

This is a limitation in Pipelines.

Our development team has been exploring the option to allow access to GPUs, as you can see from one of Justin Thomas's replies here:

I would also like to advocate for GPU access in bitbucket CI/CD processes. @Theodora Boudale
