Obtaining a Tesla Driver and CUDA Toolkit

Scenarios

Before using a GPU-accelerated ECS, make sure that the desired Tesla driver and CUDA toolkit have been installed on the ECS. Otherwise, computing acceleration will not take effect. This section describes how to obtain a Tesla driver and CUDA toolkit. Select a driver version based on your ECS type.

For instructions about how to install the Tesla driver and CUDA toolkit, see Installing a Tesla Driver and CUDA Toolkit on a GPU-accelerated ECS.

Downloading a CUDA Toolkit

Download the CUDA software package and select the corresponding CUDA Toolkit software package based on the instance type and driver version.

NVIDIA Driver Downloads provides the mapping between the driver version and CUDA Toolkit. If the versions do not match, the driver may be unavailable.

The following uses Tesla T4 as an example to describe how to download the driver package and CUDA Toolkit.

  1. Select the Linux operating system and the CUDA Toolkit 11.6 version.
