Pulling A Container

Release 24.01 is based on CUDA 12.3.2, which requires NVIDIA Driver release 545 or later. However, if you are running on a data center GPU (for example, T4 or any other data center GPU), you can use NVIDIA driver release 470.57 (or later R470), 525.85 (or later R525), 535.86 (or later R535), or 545.23 (or later R545).

The CUDA driver's compatibility package only supports particular drivers. Thus, users should upgrade from all R418, R440, R450, R460, R510, and R520 drivers, which are not forward-compatible with CUDA 12.3. For a complete list of supported drivers, see the CUDA Application Compatibility topic. For more information, see CUDA Compatibility and Upgrades.

Before you can pull a container from the NGC container registry:

• Install Docker.
  • For NVIDIA DGX™ users, see Preparing to use NVIDIA Containers Getting Started Guide.
  • For non-DGX users, see NVIDIA^® GPU Cloud™ (NGC) container registryinstallation documentation based on your platform.
• Ensure that you have an NGC API Key to log in to the NGC container registry.

  Refer to NGC Getting Started Guide for more information.
