RAPIDS: Difference between revisions

There are three types of RAPIDS Docker images, i.e. base, runtime, and devel types, and they are available at two major sites. For each type of Docker images, multiple images are provided with different combinations of RAPIDS versions and CUDA versions either in Ubuntu base or in CentOS base. You can find the Docker pull command of a selected image via the '''Tags''' tab on each given site:   

* [https://ngc.nvidia.com/catalog/containers/nvidia:rapidsai:rapidsai NVIDIA GPU Cloud (NGC)]: this site provides two types of RAPIDS images, i.e. base type and runtime type.   

** base - contains a RAPIDS environment ready to use. Use this type of image if you want to submit a job to the Slurm scheduler.

** runtime - extends the base image by adding a Jupyter notebook server and example notebooks. Use this type of image if you want to interactively work with RAPIDS through notebooks and examples.     

* [https://hub.docker.com/r/rapidsai/rapidsai-dev Docker Hub]: this site provides RAPIDS images in devel type.

** devel - contains the full RAPIDS source tree, the compiler toolchain, the debugging tools, the headers and the static libraries for RAPIDS development. Use this type of image if you want to implement any customized operations with low-level access to cuda-based processes.
