RLC Pro AI (Rocky Linux from CIQ Pro - AI)

RLC Pro AI (Rocky Linux from CIQ Pro - AI) is CIQ’s Enterprise Linux distribution specializing in a streamlined experience for deploying and managing AI, machine learning, and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. RLC Pro AI provides an optimized, pre-validated environment that significantly reduces the complexity typically associated with setting up compute-intensive infrastructure. RLC Pro AI includes the upstream long-term stable Linux kernel paired with the familiar userspace of Rocky Linux 9 from CIQ, offering enhanced hardware compatibility and better GPU utilization than available on a classic Enterprise Linux platform. In addition, RLC Pro AI includes NVIDIA GPU drivers and the CUDA Toolkit out of the box saving installation and setup time, and includes DOCA-OFED networking so it’s cluster-ready for the most demanding workloads. CIQ has also provided optimized builds of common libraries such as PyTorch so you can immediately deploy your accelerated workloads. Configuring a server for AI, ML, or HPC applications is often difficult and complex and requires considerable time to download, configure, optimize, and test the multitude of drives, libraries, and frameworks required. RLC Pro AI takes the pain out of this process which can take hours or days, shortening the time cycle by providing common dependencies baked into the image and making you workload-ready in minutes. Designed for AI developers and administrators, RLC Pro AI saves time and money letting you focus on your business and spend less time thinking about the complexities of system administration.
