[NLPL Task Force (A)] [rt.uio.no #3396801] newer CUDA versions on Abel

[Stephan Oepen via RT]

many thanks, ole!  i tried installing TensorFlow against the new CUDA
module, but unfortunately TensorFlow and i appear a little difficult
to please:

ImportError: libcublas.so.10.0: cannot open shared object file: No
such file or directory

they do in fact specify CUDA 10.0 as the requirement for the latest
TensorFlow release (1.13), so i guess they are just being cautious and
stubborn.

could you bring yourself to also putting the CUDA 10.0 libraries into
yet another module?

with thanks in advance, oe
