It's not trivial and can slow it down a bit (not much) but there are environment variables you can set to make your GPU computations bitwise reproducible. I have done this in training models with Pytorch.

There are settings to make it reproducible but they incur a non-negligible drop in performance.

Unsurprising given they amount to explicit synchronization to make the order of operations deterministic.
