Nvidia Drivers and CUDA

Installing CUDA 10.0 on Ubuntu 16.04

check nvidia drivers and cuda version:

nvidia-smi

Download the latest version of CUDA which is compatible with your version of drivers installed. For example, if you have installed a driver of 410 version, CUDA 10 can be installed, for 375 CUDA 8 should be installed. CUDA 10.0 (10.0.130) >= 410.48 driver

Avoid CUDA 10.1, it conflicts with tensorflow-gpu

Installing CUDA 10.0

First uninstall previous versions of CUDA:

   sudo apt-get --purge remove cuda-10.1
   sudo apt-get remove nvidia-cuda-toolkit

Then sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604-10-0-local-10.0.130-410.48_1.0-1_amd64.deb sudo apt-key add /var/cuda-repo-10-0-local-10.0.130-410.48/7fa2af80.pub sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install cuda-10-0

Steps here and installation file downloaded from here:

   https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-10.0-download-archive?target_os=Linux&target_arch=x86_64&target_distro=Ubuntu&target_version=1604&target_type=deblocal

To verify Cuda installation: nvcc --version nvidia-smi

Specify your cuda path (cuda 10.0 example) export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.0/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Restart your computer.

sudo nano /home/interactionstation/.bashrc

locate the two lines regarding cuda9, comment them out and include instead export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.0/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-10.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Save the file

Installing cuDNN (for ubuntu 16.04, cuda 10-0)

       Download the:
           - runtime
            https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/cudnn/secure/7.6.4.38/Production/10.0_20190923/Ubuntu16_04-x64/libcudnn7-dev_7.6.4.38-1%2Bcuda10.0_amd64.deb
    - developer

https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/cudnn/secure/7.6.4.38/Production/10.0_20190923/Ubuntu16_04-x64/libcudnn7_7.6.4.38-1%2Bcuda10.0_amd64.deb

    - samples

https://developer.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/cudnn/secure/7.6.4.38/Production/10.0_20190923/Ubuntu16_04-x64/libcudnn7-doc_7.6.4.38-1%2Bcuda10.0_amd64.deb and then:

Navigate to your <cudnnpath> directory containing cuDNN Debian file. Install the runtime library, for example: sudo dpkg -i runtimefile.deb Install the developer library, for example: sudo dpkg -i devlib.deb Install the code samples and the cuDNN Library User Guide, for example: sudo dpkg -i codesamples.deb
