How to use GPU in Model Builder

Learn how to install the GPU drivers to use your GPU with Model Builder.

Prerequisites

  • Model Builder Visual Studio extension
  • Model Builder Visual Studio GPU extension
  • At least one CUDA compatible GPU. For a list of compatible GPUs see NVIDIA's guide.
  • NVIDIA developer account. If you don't have one, create a free account.

Install dependencies

  1. Install CUDA v10.0. Make sure you install CUDA v10.0, not any other newer version. You cannot have multiple versions of CUDA installed.
  2. Install cuDNN v7.6.4 for CUDA 10.0. You cannot have multiple versions of cuDNN installed.
  3. After downloading cuDNN v7.6.4 zip file and unpacking it, copy <CUDNN_zip_files_path>\cuda\bin\cudnn64_7.dll to <YOUR_DRIVE>\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v10.0\bin.

Troubleshooting

How do I know what GPU I have?

Follow instructions provided by NVIDIA:

  1. Right-click on desktop
  2. If you see "NVIDIA Control Panel" or "NVIDIA Display" in the pop-up window, you have an NVIDIA GPU
  3. Click on "NVIDIA Control Panel" or "NVIDIA Display" in the pop-up window
  4. Look at "Graphics Card Information"
  5. You will see the name of your NVIDIA GPU

I don't see NVIDIA Control Panel (or it fails to open) but I know I have an NVIDIA GPU.

  1. Open Device Manager
  2. Look at Display adapters
  3. Install appropriate driver for your GPU.
