Installing Special Windows Drivers
Scenarios
Before using some types of ECSs to create private images, you need to install special drivers on the ECSs.
GPU Driver
If you want to use the created private image to create GPU-accelerated ECSs, install a proper GPU driver for the image to enable GPU acceleration. There are two types of NVIDIA Tesla GPU drivers for GPU-accelerated ECSs, Tesla and GRID/vGPU drivers.
- To use graphics acceleration, such as OpenGL, DirectX, or Vulcan, install the GRID/vGPU driver and separately configure a GRID license. The GRID/vGPU driver with a vDWS license also supports CUDA for both computing and graphics acceleration.
- To use NVIDIA CUDA computing acceleration, install the Tesla driver.
