1. CUDA Toolkit Major Components -> CUDA Driver
A file application The requires the CUDA The Running System Capable with the CUDA AT Least One Driver A and the GPU that The IS compatible with the CUDA Toolkit. See the For the Table 1. More Information Various Products that are the CUDA Capable the GPU, Visit https://developer.nvidia.com / CUDA-GPUs . Each Release of The the CUDA Toolkit The requires A Minimum Version of The the CUDA Driver. of The the CUDA Driver IS Backward compatible, meaning that Applications Compiled Against A Particular Version of The the CUDA Will Continue to Work ON Subsequent (later) Driver Releases. Information CAN BE ON Compatibility More found AT https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-best-practices-guide/index.html#cuda-runtime-and-driver-api-version .
run CUDA applications the system needs to have at least a GPU compatible with CUDA Toolkit and the driver of a support CUDA. See Table 1. For more information on CUDA has the function of a variety of GPU products, please visithttps://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus. Each version of the CUDA Toolkit require a minimum version of the CUDA driver. CUDA driver is backward-compatible, which means that the compiler for a particular version of CUDA applications will continue to run follow-up on the driver version (later). For more information about compatibility, please visit https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-c-best-practices-guide/index.html#cuda-runtime-and-driver-api-version.
For convenience, the NVIDIA driver is installed as part of the CUDA Toolkit installation. Note that this driver is for development purposes and is not recommended for use in production with Tesla GPUs. For running CUDA applications in production with Tesla GPUs, it is recommended to the Latest driver for Tesla downloads GPUs from the NVIDIA driver downloads Site the AT http://www.nvidia.com/drivers .
for convenience, NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit driver is installed as a part of the installation. Note that this driver is for development purposes is not recommended for use in the production of Tesla GPU. To use the Tesla GPU CUDA applications to run in a production environment, we recommend the NVIDIA driver download site http://www.nvidia.com/drivers download the latest Tesla GPU drivers.
During at The Installation of at The CUDA Toolkit, at The Installation of at The NVIDIA Driver May BE Skipped ON Windows (the when a using at The Interactive or Silent Installation) or ON Linux (by a using Meta Packages Standard Package). The For More Information ON Customizing at The install Process ON Windows, See http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-microsoft-windows/index.html#install-cuda-software .
during installation CUDA Toolkit, you can (when using interactive or silent install) in Windows NVIDIA Linux or skip the installation on the driver (package metadata).
