Can we install PowerAI vision Inference engine on an Intel machine with a Nvidia GTX1080 GPU (demo purpose) ?

Thanks for your help

Hey! Neither IBM nor NVIDIA support that particular stack of software, and we’ve never tested that particular combination, not will we ever test it.

The gaming-class GPUs are different in a variety of subtle ways from our supported Tesla GPUs that we know and love.

It might work - but - you’ll be on your own and should expect no further support or information from us, NVIDIA or any of the other vendors involved in the stack.

If you’re doing a demo like this, why not spin up a single GPU VM in IBM cloud with the Inference container? That stack -is- supported and is something we regularly demo.

A virtual server with the following should be sufficient:

1 GPU
Any number of virtual CPUs
32 GB RAM
100 GB storage
Ubuntu or RHEL (up to you)
