Get Started on Linux#
The Audio Effects SDK requires specific GPUs, specific distros of Linux and other software dependencies.
The Audio Effects SDK is designed and optimized for server-side (datacenter and cloud) deployment. Using this SDK for testing, experimentation, or production deployment of these SDKs outside of this use case is not officially supported.
Hardware Requirements#
The Linux SDK is supported on systems that have a minimum of 10 GB RAM and NVIDIA GPUs with Tensor Cores.
Hardware |
Required Version |
|---|---|
NVIDIA GPU |
NVIDIA GPUs with Tensor Cores (NVIDIA Turing™/NVIDIA Ampere/Ada/Hopper/Blackwell) |
Note
When Multi-Instance GPU (MIG) is enabled, the GPU instance and corresponding compute instance must be defined, regardless of whether the SDK is executed on a specific GPU instance or on the entire GPU.
Note
For best performance with NVIDIA T4 and other server GPUs, be sure to use a server that meets the thermal and airflow requirements for these types of products. For the latest list of qualified servers, refer to the Qualified System Catalog.
