The requirements for running Omniverse Isaac Sim on Volcano Engine simply are :

  • A Volcano Engine account with access to the veOmniverse, which can create a launcher service with GPU support.

  • A GPU-accelerated compute-optimized instance with the following recommended specifications:

    • GPU: NVIDIA L40

    • Service specification: 仿真计算ls1n2.1x

    • Image: Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS
