Install CUDA

On the clouds, we highly recommend using vendor-provided GPU-optimized instance types (e.g., p2/p3 series on AWS) and GPU-optimized virtual machine images which include ready-to-use CUDA drivers and configurations.

Since Backend.AI's kernel container images ship all the necessary libraries and 3rd-party computation packages, you may choose the light-weight "base" image (e.g., Amazon Deep Learning Base AMI) instead of full-featured images (e.g., Amazon Deep Learning Conda AMI).

Manually install CUDA at on-premise GPU servers

Please search for this topic on the Internet, as Linux distributions often provide their own driver packages and optimized method to install CUDA.
