&& curl -s -L https://nvidia.github.io/nvidia-docker/$distribution/nvidia-docker.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nvidia-docker.list

  • Update the system

sudo apt-get update

  • Install Docker

sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-docker2

  • Restart Docker

sudo systemctl restart docker

  • Download GPU Burn

git clone https://github.com/wilicc/gpu-burn

cd gpu-burn

  • Build Docker image

docker build -t gpu_burn .

  • Run the GPU Burn test

docker run –rm –gpus all gpu_burn
