DIGITS Release 19.01
The NVIDIA application of DIGITS, release 19.01, is available.
Contents of DIGITS
This application contains the complete source of the version of DIGITS in /opt/digits. It is pre-built and installed into the /usr/local/python/ directory in the application.
Two DIGITS containers are available for this release based on the deep learning frameworks. Tag 19.01-tensorflow includes the TensorFlow framework only. Tag 19.01-caffe includes the Caffe only.
- Ubuntu 16.04 including Python 2.7
- NVIDIA CUDA 10.0.130 including CUDA® Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines library™ (cuBLAS) 10.0.130
- NVIDIA CUDA® Deep Neural Network library™ (cuDNN) 7.4.2
- NCCL 2.3.7 (optimized for NVLink™ )
- OpenMPI 3.1.3
- NVCaffe 0.17.2
- TensorFlow 1.12.0
- TensorRT 5.0.2
Driver Requirements
Release 19.01 is based on CUDA 10, which requires NVIDIA Driver release 410.xx. However, if you are running on Tesla (Tesla V100, Tesla P4, Tesla P40, or Tesla P100), you may use NVIDIA driver release 384. For more information, see CUDA Compatibility and Upgrades.
GPU Requirements
Release 19.01 supports CUDA compute capability 6.0 and higher. This corresponds to GPUs in the Pascal, Volta, and Turing families. Specifically, for a list of GPUs that this compute capability corresponds to, see CUDA GPUs. For additional support details, see Deep Learning Frameworks Support Matrix.

Known Issues
- The GoogleNet example in the TensorFlow framework container may fail during the validation stage.
- In the 19.01-caffe container, the following plugins rely on
TensorFlow or another deep learning framework. We recommend that you ignore
these plugins because they do not add any additional functionality.
- digits/plugins/data/bAbI
- digits/plugins/data/gan
- digits/plugins/view/gan
- digits/plugins/data/textClassification
- digits/plugins/view/textClassification
- In the 19.01-tensorflow container, the following plugins rely
on Caffe or another deep learning framework. We recommend that you ignore these
plugins because they do not add any additional functionality.
- digits/plugins/data/bAbI
- digits/plugins/data/sunnybrook
- digits/plugins/data/textClassification
- digits/plugins/view/textClassification
- If using or upgrading to a 3-part-version driver, for example, a driver that takes the format of xxx.yy.zz, you will receive a Failed to detect NVIDIA driver version. message. This is due to a known bug in the entry point script's parsing of 3-part driver versions. This message is non-fatal and can be ignored. This will be fixed in the 19.04 release.
