## ND4J backends for GPUs and CPUs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can choose GPUs or native CPUs for your backend linear algebra operations by changing the dependencies in ND4J's POM.xml file. Your selection will affect both ND4J and DL4J being used in your application.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have CUDA v9.2+ installed and NVIDIA-compatible hardware, then your dependency declaration will look like:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```xml
|
||
|
|
<dependency>
|
||
|
|
<groupId>org.nd4j</groupId>
|
||
|
|
<artifactId>nd4j-cuda-{{ page.cudaVersion }}</artifactId>
|
||
|
|
<version>{{ page.version }}</version>
|
||
|
|
</dependency>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
As of now, the `artifactId` for the CUDA versions can be one of `nd4j-cuda-9.0`, `nd4j-cuda-9.2` or `nd4j-cuda-10.0`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can also find the available CUDA versions via [Maven Central search](https://search.maven.org/search?q=nd4j-cuda) or in the [Release Notes](https://deeplearning4j.org/release-notes.html).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Otherwise you will need to use the native implementation of ND4J as a CPU backend:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```xml
|
||
|
|
<dependency>
|
||
|
|
<groupId>org.nd4j</groupId>
|
||
|
|
<artifactId>nd4j-native</artifactId>
|
||
|
|
<version>{{ page.version }}</version>
|
||
|
|
</dependency>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## System architectures
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you are developing your project on multiple operating systems/system architectures, you can add `-platform` to the end of your `artifactId` which will download binaries for most major systems.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```xml
|
||
|
|
<dependency>
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
<artifactId>nd4j-native-platform</artifactId>
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
</dependency>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Multiple GPUs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have several GPUs, but your system is forcing you to use just one, you can use the helper `CudaEnvironment.getInstance().getConfiguration().allowMultiGPU(true);` as first line of your `main()` method.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## CuDNN
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
See our page on [CuDNN](./deeplearning4j-config-cudnn).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## CUDA Installation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Check the NVIDIA guides for instructions on setting up CUDA on the NVIDIA [website](http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/).
