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 Manually Installing a Tesla Driver on a GPU-accelerated ECS.

Downloading a Tesla Driver

Download a driver based on your ECS type.

**Table 1** Mapping between Tesla drivers and ECS types
ECS Type	Driver	Product Series	Product
Pi2	Tesla	T	T4
Pi2nl	Tesla	T	T4
G7	Tesla	A	A40
G6	Tesla	T	T4
G5	Tesla	V	V100

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.

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