Ansible CUDA installation from source

This role installs and configures NVIDIA CUDA 8.0 library, used for GPU computations. Supports Ubuntu 14.04 and 16.04.

Install

ansible-galaxy install slothai.cuda

Target machine should have proper gcc version. Current role does not handle it at the moment.

Development

Check CUDA:

$ lspci | grep -i nvidia
02:00.0 3D controller: NVIDIA Corporation GK107M [GeForce GT 750M] (rev a1)
