The following verification steps only apply to the cudafull installations.

1. Verify driver version by looking at: cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version :

# cat /proc/driver/nvidia/version
NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module  384.90  Tue Sep 19 19:17:35 PDT 2017
GCC version:  gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.4) 

2. Verify the CUDA Toolkit version

# nvcc -V
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2015 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Tue_Aug_11_14:27:32_CDT_2015
Cuda compilation tools, release 7.5, V7.5.17

3. Verify running CUDA GPU jobs by compiling the samples and executing the deviceQuery or bandwidthTest programs.

Compile the samples:

Ubuntu

cd ~/
apt-get install cuda-samples-9-0
cd /usr/local/cuda-9.0/samples
make

Run the deviceQuery sample:

./bin/ppc64le/linux/release/deviceQuery

  ./bin/x86_64/linux/release/deviceQuery Starting...
