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

[Ole Saastad via RT]

Prøver igjen,


[root at nielshenrik ~]# find /cluster/software/VERSIONS/cuda-10.0/ -name libcublas.so.10.0
/cluster/software/VERSIONS/cuda-10.0/lib64/libcublas.so.10.0

Rart at de prehistoriske kortene støtter CUDA 10 :)

Kanskje  det virker nå, men driverene er ikke oppdatert. Det er et litt
større lerret å bleke. 

På sikt må dere tenke på hvordan og hvor dere vil kjøre, er dere
avhengig av kontinuerlig tilgang er kanskje ikke Saga eller
tjenesteplattformen (SP) det beste. Men for tjenester er selvsagt SP
den beste løsningen. SP tilbys kun tjenester, kubernetes.


mvh,
Ole
