# Create an Amazon EKS GPU job definition
<a name="create-eks-gpu-job-definition"></a>

Only `nvidia.com/gpu` is supported at this time and resource value that you set must be a whole number. You can’t use fractions of GPU. For more information, see [Schedule GPUs](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/manage-gpus/scheduling-gpus/) in the *Kubernetes documentation*.

To register a GPU job definition for Amazon EKS, run the following commands.

```
$ cat <<EOF > ./batch-eks-gpu-jd.json
{
    "jobDefinitionName": "MyGPUJobOnEks_Smi",
    "type": "container",
    "eksProperties": {
        "podProperties": {
            "hostNetwork": true,
            "containers": [
                {
                    "image": "nvcr.io/nvidia/cuda:10.2-runtime-centos7",
                    "command": ["nvidia-smi"],
                    "resources": {
                        "limits": {
                            "cpu": "1",
                            "memory": "1024Mi",
                            "nvidia.com/gpu": "1"
                        }
                    }
                }
            ]
        }
    }
}
