Q: Can GPU Operator + MPS split an ADA6000 into two memory partitions (30 GB + 18 GB) for vLLM? #1730

Hi,

I have a requirement to run two models on a single NVIDIA ADA6000 GPU using the GPU Operator and MPS (Multi-Process Service):

• One model requires ~30 GB of GPU memory.
• The other model requires ~18 GB of GPU memory.
• Both models will be started with [vLLM](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm).

I’d like to know if it’s possible to configure MPS via the GPU Operator so that the GPU can be split into these two “memory slices” (30 GB + 18 GB) to run both models simultaneously.

• Does MPS support explicit memory quotas or limits for each process when launched this way?
• Can i start my 2 Pods on this Node?
• If not, is there another recommended approach (e.g., MIG, CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES tricks, or GPU Operator configuration) to achieve similar memory partitioning on an ADA6000?

Thanks in advance for any guidance i am pretty new in this stuff
