What is the difference between a DPU, a CPU, and a GPU?

An interesting blog to explain what is the difference a DPU, CPU, and GPU?

 

So What Makes a DPU Different?

A DPU is a new class of programmable processor that combines three key elements. A DPU is a system on a chip, or SOC, that combines:
An industry standard, high-performance, software programmable, multi-core CPU, typically based on the widely-used Arm architecture, tightly coupled to the other SOC components

A high-performance network interface capable of parsing, processing, and efficiently transferring data at line rate, or the speed of the rest of the network, to GPUs and CPUs

A rich set of flexible and programmable acceleration engines that offload and improve applications performance for AI and Machine Learning, security, telecommunications, and storage, among others.

Installing R-Studio on CentOS-7

Prerequisites

  • R-Studio (rstudio-server-rhel-1.3.1093-x86_64.rpm)
  • R-3.6.3
  • GNU-6.5
  • m4-1.4.18
  • gmp-6.1.0
  • mpfr-3.1.4
  • mpc-1.0.3
  • isl-0.18
  • gsl-2.1

Step 1: Download R-Studio v1.3.1093

On your terminal, Download the free version RStudio Server v1.3.1093 from RStudio.com

Step 2: Install R-Studio v1.3.1093

Follow the Install Process as written in https://rstudio.com/products/rstudio/download-server/redhat-centos/

% wget https://download2.rstudio.org/server/centos6/x86_64/rstudio-server-rhel-1.3.1093-x86_64.rpm
% yum install rstudio-server-rhel-1.3.1093-x86_64.rpm

Step 3: Verify Installation

% /usr/sbin/rstudio-server verify-installation

Step 4: Make sure the R is compiled and placed correctly

  • Make sure the R –enable-R-shlib flags
  • RStudio will search for your installation of R in the traditional locations, such as RStudio will search for your installation of R in the traditional locations, such as 
    /usr/bin/R
/usr/local/bin/R

    If R is not installed in these locations, RStudio may not be able to find it.

Step 5: Fixing Login Issues

If you managed to launch the R-Studio,

 

But not able to or having error. Do take a look at PAM authentication in RStudio Connect

Simply copy /etc/pam.d/login and replace the /etc/pam.d/rstudio

% cp /etc/pam.d/login /etc/pam.d/rstudio
