Seems the IPU is customized by Google. Can we can still be able to use IPDK to program the card? Previous question link: https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/Databases/Public-access-to-Intel-IPU-E2000-on-C3-and-H3/m-p/723357#M2678

Hi @yorkchen0504 ,
Welcome to Google Cloud Community!
As of the moment, we don’t have a specific documentation that we could use IPDK to customize Google Cloud’s Intel IPU but as per documentation that I previously provided, Intel fully supports IPDK.
You can also check the following for additional information with regards using IPDK with Intel’s IPU:
- Unleashing the Power of Infrastructure Processing Units through Open Programmable Infrastructure
- Intel Sapphire Rapids on Google Compute Engine C3 instance and SPEC CPU® 2017
You may file a feature request if you want this feature to be available in the future. We don’t have a specific ETA but you can keep track of its progress once the ticket has been created.
Hope this helps.

We have already created a VM (C3) on Google Cloud, but we do not know how to directly access the IPU OS ? or how we can use the IPU on the Google Cloud VM?
