• CUDA-Capable GPU and CUDA Toolkit:

  • This AceCAST distribution is compatible with GPU compute capabilities 3.5, 6.0, 7.0 and 8.0 and requires a CUDA runtime driver installation compatible with the CUDA 11.0 toolkit (i.e. driver versions >= 450.36.06 – tip: you can find your version by running nvidia-smi). Power9 version is compiled with CUDA 10.1 for compatibility with older system drivers. This should already be installed on most systems with GPUs by default. If it is not, please refer to the documentation for installing the necessary cuda components.

Note

TQI extensively tested the model on Intel (Haswell and Skylake) CPUs with NVIDIA V100 GPUs on a CentOS Linux version 7 platform. The IBM Power9 version is extensively tested on the U.S. Department of Energy Summit supercomputer.
