Turing architecture compatibility with CUDA 8

Accelerated Computing GPU-Accelerated Libraries

I have a Turing GPU but I only can use it with CUDA 8. I have seen that it’s compatible in documentation, but can I use tensor cores despite i’m using CUDA 8?

Thank you a lot.

Unfortunately, no.

Tensor Cores are exposed in CUDA 9.0 via a set of functions and types in the nvcuda::wmma namespace
