===Specification===
<onlyinclude>[[File:Top1000.jpg|right|300px]] Our [[DIGITS DevBox]], affectionately named "Bastard", has a XEON e5-2620v3 processor, 256GB of DDR4 RAM, two GPUs - one Titan RTX and one Titan Xp - with room for two more, a 500GB SSD hard drive (mounting /), and an 8TB RAID5 array bcached with a 512GB m.2 drive (mounting the /bulk share, which is available over samba). It runs Ubuntu 18.04, CUDA 10.1 (and CUDA 10 under conda)0, cuDNN 7.56.1, Anaconda3-2019.03, python 3.7, tensorflow 1.13, digits 6, and other useful machine learning tools/libraries.</onlyinclude>
===Documentation===
Notes:
*We will do RAID 5 array in software, rather using X99 through the BIOS
What's really crucial is that all the hardware is visible and that we are NOT using UEFI. With UEFI, there is an issue with the drivers not being properly signed under secure boot.
==Software==
===Video Drivers===
The first build of this box was done with an installation of CUDA 10.1, which automatically installed version 418.67 of the NVIDIA driver. We then installed CUDA 10.0 under conda to support Tensorflow 1.13. All went mostly well, and the history of this page contains the instructions. However, at some point, likely because of an OS update, the video driver(s) stopped working. This page now describes the second build (as if it were a build from scratch). [[Addressing Ubuntu NVIDIA Issues]] provides additional information.
