- paxys 4y agoI can assure you systems that take advantage of this chip for scientific/ML workloads aren't running Windows.
- flatiron 4y agothey may have edited their comment but they were commenting on the lack of quality of their Linux drivers (which I agree with but only on a consumer level, never used nvidia in a server)
- why_only_15 4y agoThey do have good drivers for Linux for the things this chips is intended to be used for (research, ML).
- johndough 4y agoIf you haven't had any issues with NVIDIA Linux drivers, you can count yourself extremely lucky. In the past, I had a 50/50 chance of boot failure after installing CUDA drivers over 12 different systems. Mainline Ubuntu drivers are somewhat stable, but installing a specific CUDA version from the official NVIDIA repos rarely works on the first try. Switching from Tensorflow to PyTorch has helped a lot though, as Tensorflow was much more picky about the installed CUDA version.
