Getting Started with pyAerial

Accelerated Computing Aerial Forum
1

Hi,

I am getting started with Aerial and following the instruction from : Getting Started with pyAerial - NVIDIA Docs

As per the instructions, it says " To create and launch the pyAerial container, the following are needed:

  1. NVIDIA Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN container, see instructions here.

*2) Docker installation, see instructions here.

  1. HPC Container Maker (HPCCM) installation"

I would appreciate clarifications against the first 1 point above:

  1. Is the NVIDIA Aerial CUDA-Accelerated RAN container image enough and the PyAerial can can be complied and run on CPU as well? I see the following "Note that pyAerial, similarly to Aerial cuPHY, is by default built for GPUs with compute capabilities 8.0 or 9.0, and these are also what pyAerial has been tested against. . So would like to confirm in order to try out.

I guess points 2 and 3 is pretty much straight forward, so would require clarification on point 1.

Thanks

Hi,

This forum is for the NVHPC Compilers so doubtful folks here will be able to answer your question.

Unfortunately I’m not sure which forum to move your post but possibly the NGC Cloud forum. If that works for you, you can edit your post to change the forum, or I can do it for you

Hi @satya.singh.singh ,

Welcome to the Aerial forum. PyAerial can only be run with an NVIDIA GPU.

Thank you.
