DIGITS Release 21.09

DIGITS Release 21.09 (PDF)

The NVIDIA application of DIGITS, release 21.09, is available on NGC.

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 21.09-tensorflow includes the TensorFlow framework only.

The container also includes the following:

Driver Requirements

Release 21.09 is based on NVIDIA CUDA 11.4.2, which requires NVIDIA Driver release 470 or later. However, if you are running on Data Center GPUs (formerly Tesla), for example, T4, you may use NVIDIA driver release 418.40 (or later R418), 440.33 (or later R440), 450.51 (or later R450), or 460.27 (or later R460). 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 and NVIDIA CUDA and Drivers Support.

GPU Requirements

Release 21.09 supports CUDA compute capability 6.0 and higher. This corresponds to GPUs in the Pascal, Volta, Turing, and NVIDIA 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

After release 21.09, future releases of the DIGITS container will be paused for approximately 6 months.

Key Features and Enhancements

This DIGITS container image version includes the following key features and enhancements.

Security Notice

DIGITS is not designed to be run as an exposed external web service.
