Contents of the DIGITS container

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.

The following DIGITS container is available for this release based on the deep learning frameworks:

• Tag 20.10-tensorflow includes the TensorFlow framework only.

The container also includes the following:

• Ubuntu 18.04 including Python 3.6
• NVIDIA CUDA 11.1.0 including cuBLAS 11.2.1
• NVIDIA cuDNN 8.0.4
• NVIDIA NCCL 2.7.8 (optimized for NVLink™ )
• MLNX_OFED
• OpenMPI 3.1.6
• Nsight Compute 2020.2.0.18
• Nsight Systems 2020.3.4.32
• TensorFlow 1.15.4
• TensorRT 7.2.1

Driver Requirements

Release 20.10 is based on NVIDIA CUDA 11.1.0, which requires NVIDIA Driver release 455 or later. However, if you are running on Tesla (for example, T4 or any other Tesla board), you may use NVIDIA driver release 418.xx, 440.30, or 450.xx. The CUDA driver's compatibility package only supports particular drivers. For a complete list of supported drivers, see the CUDA Application Compatibility topic. For more information, see CUDA Compatibility and Upgrades.

GPU Requirements

Release 20.10 supports CUDA compute capability 6.0 and higher. This corresponds to GPUs in the Pascal, Volta, Turing, and Ampere Architecture GPU 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.

Announcement

Caffe is no longer supported. 20.10 and later releases are built only with TensorFlow.
