How does one use Pytorch (+ cuda) with an A100 GPU?

I was trying to use my current code with an A100 gpu but I get this error:

---> backend='nccl'
/home/miranda9/miniconda3/envs/metalearningpy1.7.1c10.2/lib/python3.8/site-packages/torch/cuda/__init__.py:104: UserWarning: 
A100-SXM4-40GB with CUDA capability sm_80 is not compatible with the current PyTorch installation.
The current PyTorch install supports CUDA capabilities sm_37 sm_50 sm_60 sm_61 sm_70 sm_75 compute_37.
If you want to use the A100-SXM4-40GB GPU with PyTorch, please check the instructions at https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/

which is reather confusing because it points to the usual pytorch installation but doesn't tell me which combination of pytorch version + cuda version to use for my specific hardware (A100). What is the right way to install pytorch for an A100?


These are some versions I've tried:

# conda install -y pytorch==1.8.0 torchvision cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch
# conda install -y pytorch torchvision cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch
#conda install -y pytorch==1.7.1 torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch -c conda-forge
# conda install -y pytorch==1.6.0 torchvision cudatoolkit=10.2 -c pytorch
#conda install -y pytorch==1.7.1 torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.1 -c pytorch -c conda-forge

# conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.0 -c pytorch
# conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.1 -c pytorch -c conda-forge
# conda install -y pytorch torchvision cudatoolkit=9.2 -c pytorch # For Nano, CC
# conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.1 -c pytorch -c conda-forge

note that this can be subtle because I've had this error with this machine + pytorch version in the past:

From the link pytorch site from @SimonB 's answer, I did:

pip3 install torch==1.9.0+cu111 torchvision==0.10.0+cu111 torchaudio==0.9.0 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

This solved the problem for me.

I've got an A100 and have had success with

conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio cudatoolkit=11.1 -c pytorch -c nvidia

Which is now also recommended on the pytorch site

I had the same problem. You need to install CUDA 11.0 instead of 10.2 and reinstall PyTorch for this CUDA version.

To me this is what worked:

conda update conda
pip install --upgrade pip
pip3 install --upgrade pip

conda create -n meta_learning_a100 python=3.9
conda activate meta_learning_a100

pip3 install torch==1.9.1+cu111 torchvision==0.10.1+cu111 torchaudio==0.9.1 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html

then I tested it, asked for the device and did a matrix multiply, no errors is it worked:

(meta_learning_a100) [miranda9@hal-dgx diversity-for-predictive-success-of-meta-learning]$ python -c "import uutils; uutils.torch_uu.gpu_test()"
device name: A100-SXM4-40GB
Success, no Cuda errors means it worked see:
out=tensor([[ 0.5877],
        [-3.0269]], device='cuda:0')

gpu pytorch code:

def gpu_test():
    """
    python -c "import uutils; uutils.torch_uu.gpu_test()"
    """
    from torch import Tensor

    print(f'device name: {device_name()}')
    x: Tensor = torch.randn(2, 4).cuda()
    y: Tensor = torch.randn(4, 1).cuda()
    out: Tensor = (x @ y)
    assert out.size() == torch.Size([2, 1])
    print(f'Success, no Cuda errors means it worked see:\n{out=}')

As of 17th July 2022 pip3 install torch==1.12.0+cu116 torchvision==0.13.0+cu116 torchaudio==0.12.0+cu116 cuda-python==11.6.1 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html works. Also created a Dockerfile for it https://github.com/omerfsen/gpu-stress-test/blob/main/Dockerfile
