On machines hosting multiple GPUs, the device_ids field can be set to target specific GPU devices and count can be used to limit the number of GPU devices assigned to a service container.
You can use count or device_ids in each of your service definitions. An error is returned if you try to combine both, specify an invalid device ID, or use a value of count that’s higher than the number of GPUs in your system. …
