CUDA Tutorials I Installing CUDA Toolkit on Windows and WSL

Learn how to set up a CUDA environment on Microsoft Windows WSL2 after installing the CUDA Toolkit on Windows. CUDA on WSL2 can be used to run existing GPU-accelerated applications originally developed for Linux, or it can be leveraged as a full CUDA developer environment. The second option is useful for developers working on multi-platform projects or developing on a Windows setup while targeting Linux.

I respect the time and effort in demostarting this. However, on Windows subsystem, Ubuntu 20.04 with WSL2 the cuda test and installation doesn't work well; especially when installing tensorflow to use GPU.
Would be helpful if a more detailed video could be shown to demonstrate this considering you guys are the original developers.

Thank you for the clear explanation. According to NVDIA cuda documentation, we need to check some system requirments such as gcc and kernel versions, is this mandatory only for native linux or also for WSL2? I wanna also know if this installation will allow to profit from the performance of NVIDIA GDS or this should be installed separately? Thank you.

Seems you need to install some CUDA drivers, your camera view look like missing some drivers on VGA 800/600 resolution 😂

Can we get a how to video for installing cuda toolkit for use with Kali Linux wsl2?

Can we connect hard disk to nvdia jetson kit.

Windows 10 tutorial would be appreciated

I this tutorial you seem to install CUDA prior to WSL2. What happens if you already have WSL2 but you decide to install CUDA now, without uninstalling WSL2?

I have an issue with not knowing my sudo password? I can't do sudo apt update without it and can't find documentation on where to retrieve this password?
