NVIDIA CUDA¶
CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) is a parallel computing platform and programming model created by NVIDIA. It can be used to increase computing performance by leveraging the Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).

xCAT supports CUDA installation for Ubuntu 14.04.3 and RHEL 7.5 on PowerNV (Non-Virtualized) for both diskful and diskless nodes.
Within the NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit, installing the cuda
package will install both the cuda-runtime
and the cuda-toolkit
. The cuda-toolkit
is intended for developing CUDA programs and monitoring CUDA jobs. If your particular installation requires only running GPU jobs, it’s recommended to install only the cuda-runtime
package.
