Hi All,
I am setting up VAPOR on a 64 core server with 2 video cards in it. I have installed the drivers for the cards and CUDA-8.0. Is there an installation flag or a specific way I have to setup VAPOR to have the program utilize the GPU's?
Thank You,
Marshall Stageberg
Hello Stageberg,
I don't think VAPOR currently makes use of any CUDA capabilities. That said, it makes use of traditional rendering capabilities of a graphics card. As a result, you want to make sure the graphics card drivers are installed correctly, instead of CUDA drivers.

Hi Marshall,
You don't need to do anything for VAPOR to make use of the video cards. In fact, many visualization functionalities are carried out via the graphics card. If you don't run into errors seemingly graphics related, it must be using it.
