Nvidia CUDA Toolkit

Description

cuda website  
CUDA™ is a parallel computing platform and programming model invented by NVIDIA. It enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU). With millions of CUDA-enabled GPUs sold to date, software developers, scientists and researchers are finding broad-ranging uses for GPU computing with CUDA.

Required Modules

For single task, non MPI programs

module load cuda/9.1.85 intel/2017

or

module load cuda/9.1.85 gcc/7.3.0

For MPI programs

module load cuda/9.1.85 intel/2017 openmpi/3.0.0

System Variables

• HPC_{{#uppercase:cuda}}_DIR
• HPC_{{#uppercase:cuda}}_BIN
• HPC_{{#uppercase:cuda}}_INC
• HPC_{{#uppercase:cuda}}_LIB

Environment

For CUDA development please load the "cuda" module. Doing so will ensure that your environment is set up correctly for the use of the CUDA compiler, header files, and libraries. Currently cuda/8.0 and cuda/8.061 are the only versions supported on hipergator.

$ module spider cuda
