Nvidia errors overnight

So overnight I had issues with CUDA/Nvidia. If I run nvidia-smi on my VM, I get this error NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

You can try the below workaround and check whether it resolves the issue or not.

This sample solution is done on Google Compute Engine having NVIDIA Tesla K80 and Ubuntu 16.04. Change might be required according to the OS.

Steps

  1. curl -O http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_8.0.61-1_amd64.deb
  2. sudo dpkg -i ./cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_8.0.61-1_amd64.deb
  3. sudo apt-get update
  4. sudo apt-get install cuda-8-0 cuda-drivers=384.111-1 -y

To check

nvidia-smi

Hope this helps.
