Fantastic news! Previously, Windows users had to install and set up Docker (which involves setting up a virtual machine) to get it working. That took me nearly a day to get it all configured (thanks to complicated proxy settings at work).
And even then, there wasn't a good way for Tensorflow in a Docker container in a virtual machine to access the GPU.
I'm excited about this release!
- MichaelBurge 10y agoIf you're using a Virtual Machine, why would you need Docker? I think you can get GPU acceleration in a VM.
- jfsantos 10y agoI think there is no PCIe passthrough for Windows hosts on Virtualbox, and that's required for using CUDA on a VM. You can get graphics acceleration on a VM under any kind of host, but it uses a virtual graphics card from Virtualbox instead of your actual card, so it does not work with CUDA.
- lowpro 10y agoThis is correct, Linux works much. After for PCIe passthrough in VMs, both Virtualbox and VMware. Very glad it's now on Windows though! Time to tinker once again.
