Idle GPU Elimination

Stop Paying for Idle GPUs

GPUs are expensive, scarce, and frequently over-provisioned for AI and ML workloads. Teams conservatively allocate resources, leaving capacity unused between jobs or during traffic lulls. The result? GPU spend driven by fear and guesswork, not utilization.

How It Works

DevZero continuously monitors GPU allocation and actual usage across Kubernetes clusters. The system identifies three key waste patterns: ML training jobs that complete and leave GPUs idle, AI inference endpoints with warm pools consuming capacity during low traffic, and interactive notebooks left running after work ends.

Policy-Driven Management

You set the rules, DevZero executes them. Define allocation duration, cleanup triggers, and which workloads can access GPU resources at the cluster, namespace, or workload level.

Workload Optimization

Workload-Level GPU Optimization

Traditional GPU management operates at node level, missing significant waste. DevZero provides workload-level optimization by monitoring individual GPU allocations and releasing them when specific jobs complete or go idle, not just when entire nodes are empty.

Workload-Level Detection

Node-level autoscalers scale down empty nodes. But a node with one small workload holding a full GPU will not scale down. DevZero releases that GPU allocation while the node remains active. This captures waste across all AI workload patterns: batch model training, AI inference serving, and exploratory ML work.

Seamless Integration

DevZero complements tools like Karpenter and KEDA without replacing them. While those handle node capacity, DevZero optimizes GPU allocations per workload.

Maximum Utilization

Do More with Existing GPUs

Most teams do not need more GPUs. They need better utilization of existing capacity. At typical 20-30% utilization, organizations pay for 100%. For teams constrained by GPU availability or budget, optimization means more work gets done without expanding infrastructure.

Cost and Capacity Optimization

DevZero delivers two critical outcomes: control AI costs by eliminating waste from idle GPUs across model training, inference serving, and exploratory workloads; and do more with existing capacity so GPUs handle more AI workloads without additional hardware.

Dynamic Allocation

GPUs are treated as dynamic resources, not static infrastructure. Allocated when needed, released when idle, managed continuously by policy. No manual cleanup required. Just GPU spend aligned to actual workload behavior.
