Supported system configurations for Bladebit CUDA alpha
OS: Windows and Linux
Memory: 256GB of DRAM
GPUs: CUDA capability 5.0 (NVIDIA 10 series GPU or higher) with 8GB of GPU VRAM

To test normal plots:

Install the NVIDIA driver
https://www.nvidia.com/download/index...

Ubuntu
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-525
If you want to be able to compile the latest versions (not required)
can compile source from here
https://github.com/Chia-Network/blade...

install NVIDIA dev kit

https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-dow...

wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com...
sudo dpkg -i cuda-keyring_1.0-1_all.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install cuda
PATH=/usr/local/cuda/bin/:$PATH
sudo apt install cmake libnuma-dev


Test bladebit cuda in benchmark mode (does not write to final destination)
bladebit_cuda -f farmer key -c contract address -n 1 --benchmark cudaplot /mnt/ssd

To test bladebit cuda in normal mode

bladebit_cuda -f farmer key -c contract address -n 1 cudaplot /mnt/ssd


To validate that a compressed plot is retrieving full proofs of space
bladebit_cuda -t threads validate --f7 number plot_file

System configuration data that we would like to collect with a script in addition to the bladebit cuda logs
System name, motherboard, and platform (e.g. Lenovo P620 Workstation)
Processor name (e.g. 2x (dual socket) Intel Xeon Gold 5120)
Memory configuration (total system memory, number of DIMMs, memory speed)
NVIDIA driver version
Full GPU details (output of NVIDIA device query)
PCIe link speed and width (during runtime, NVIDIA clocks down to 2.5MT/s while idle)
Any storage in the system (SSD) being used as destination for bladebit cuda
