Installing Special Linux Drivers
Before using a private image to create GPU-accelerated ECSs, install a GPU driver for the image.
There are two types of GPU drivers: GRID and Tesla.
- To use graphics acceleration, such as OpenGL, DirectX, or Vulkan, install a GRID driver and separately purchase and configure a GRID license. The GRID driver with a vDWS license also supports CUDA for both computing and graphics acceleration.
- A graphics-accelerated (G series) ECS created from a Linux public image does not have a GRID driver installed by default. To install a GRID driver, see Installing a GRID Driver on a GPU-accelerated ECS.
- To install a GRID driver on a GPU-accelerated ECS created from a private image, see Installing a GRID Driver on a GPU-accelerated ECS.
- To use computing acceleration, install a Tesla driver.
- A computing-accelerated (P series) ECS created from a Linux public image does not have a Tesla driver installed by default. To install a Tesla driver, see Installing a Tesla Driver and CUDA Toolkit on a GPU-accelerated ECS.
- To install a Tesla driver on a GPU-accelerated ECS created from a private image, see Installing a Tesla Driver and CUDA Toolkit on a GPU-accelerated ECS.
