Photon OS supports GPU-accelerated video processing, machine-learning and computer vision applications.

PCIUtils

Install pciutils and check which GPU is listed, use lspci.

tdnf install -y pciutils
lspci

NVidia GPU drivers

Install the NVidia GPU drivers.

This section describes how to install the NVidia GPU drivers using the Runfile installer method.

1. Consult the Software Matrix for GPU architecture and required driver support.

2. Update packages with impact to NVidia components or for installation helper purpose.

   tdnf update -y docker
   tdnf install -y build-essential wget tar
   
   if [ `uname -r | grep -o "-esx" | wc -l` -eq 0 ]; then
     tdnf install -y linux-devel; else
     tdnf install -y linux-esx-devel
   fi
   
   reboot
   

3. Download and install the NVidia Runfile installer

   Obtain the latest version of Runfile installers from the NVIDIA Linux driver downloads site.

   wget https://us.download.nvidia.com/tesla/470.141.03/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.141.03.run
   chmod a+x ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.141.03.run
   ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-470.141.03.run --kernel-source-path=/usr/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build --ui=none --no-questions --accept-license
   

4. Check if the GPU is detected. Sample output:

   nvidia-smi
   root@NVidia01 [ / ]# nvidia-smi
