Ubuntu 14.04.3 ============== NVIDIA supports two types of debian repositories that can be used to install Cuda Toolkit: **local** and **network**. You can download the installers from https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads. Local ----- A local package repo will contain all of the CUDA packages. Extract the CUDA packages into ``/install/cuda-repo/ppc64le``: :: # For CUDA toolkit: /root/cuda-repo-ubuntu1404-7-5-local_7.5-18_ppc64el.deb # Create the repo directory under xCAT /install dir mkdir -p /install/cuda-repo/ppc64el # extract the package dpkg -x /root/cuda-repo-ubuntu1404-7-5-local_7.5-18_ppc64el.deb /install/cuda-repo/ppc64el Network ------- The online package repo provides a source list entry pointing to a URL containing the CUDA packages. This can be used directly on the Compute Nodes. The ``sources.list`` entry may look similar to: :: deb http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1410/ppc64el / Authorize the CUDA repo ----------------------- In order to access the CUDA repository you must import the CUDA GPGKEY into the ``apt_key`` trust list. xCAT provides a sample postscript ``/install/postscripts/addcudakey`` to help with this task: :: chdef -t node -o -p postscripts=addcudakey
