This container image contains the complete source of the version of PyTorch in /opt/pytorch
. It is pre-built and installed in the pytorch-py3.6
Conda™ environment in the container image.
The container also includes the following:
- Ubuntu 16.04 including Python 3.6 environment
- NVIDIA CUDA 9.0.176 (see Errata section and 2.1) including CUDA® Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines library™ (cuBLAS) 9.0.425
- NVIDIA CUDA® Deep Neural Network library™ (cuDNN) 7.1.4
- NCCL 2.2.13 (optimized for NVLink™ )
- Caffe2 0.8.1
- DALI 0.1 Beta
Driver Requirements
Release 18.07 is based on CUDA 9, which requires NVIDIA Driver release 384.xx.
