What do nvidia cuda 9 and cuda 10 support?


Asked by Karla Cross on Dec 01, 2021 FAQ



CUDA 9 and CUDA 10 support minimum compute capability (CC) 3.0. I built the list of the NVIDIA graphics cards for desktop with CC >= 3.0 last year, you can check the list for GeForce 700 series in this article: https://tech.amikelive.com/node-685/list-of-nvidia-desktop-graphics-card-models-for-building-deep-learning-ai-system/
Additionally,
NVIDIA recently released version 10.0 of CUDA. This is an upgrade from the 9.x series and has support for the new Turing GPU architecture. This CUDA version has full support for Ubuntu 18.4 as well as 16.04 and 14.04. The CUDA 10.0 release is bundled with the new 410.x display driver for Linux which will be needed for the 20xx Turing GPU's.
Accordingly, Supported NVIDIA hardware, CUDA, and CUDA driver versions for the cuDNN 8.2.0 and 8.2.1 release. Table 2. Supported NVIDIA hardware, CUDA, and CUDA driver
In fact,
CUDA 10, announced at SIGGRAPH 2018 alongside the new Turing GPU architecture, is now generally available for all NVIDIA GPU developers. The enhanced APIs and SDKs tap the power of new Turing GPUs, enable scaled up NVLINK-powered GPU systems, and provide benefits to CUDA software deployed on existing systems.
One may also ask,
You do not need CUDA installed for most GPU accelerated applications. You are doing fresh development work writing low level CUDA kernels and need access to nvcc, AND you want to build on the latest platform with support for NVIDIA's new Turing GPU's. You are recompiling existing packages and want to link in the most recent libraries.
