Description

We got a question from some MAAP users who are trying to set up an image with a custom library Torchlean. To get the GPU libraries right they need details about the host driver version for GPUs

Is there a document somewhere that keeps track of which NVIDIA driver version is installed in the GPU instances?
There is a subtle dependency between the NVIDIA driver installed on the GPU instances and the CUDA library we build in our container.

I can find the version of the driver after I start the GPU container but it takes a while to spin up so it would be easier if I could find this information before hand. Also, is there a process for updating these drivers? NVIDIA publishes regular updates of these drivers.

  • Find where in the 2i2c configuration the host AMI version is specified, and share that info
  • Discuss with VEDA Jupyterhub Team if driver updates are a thing -- or if we're locked to create image stability.
