The daemon targets +all current Tesla, Quadro and GRID GPUs. For further information, see + +https://docs.nvidia.com/deploy/driver-persistence/index.html + +The driver now includes rc.nvidia-persistenced as an option. +While it can be run as root, it is more secure to run it as an +unpriveleged user, so we run it as user nvidia. + +To install it, Pass PERSISTENCED=yes to the script. It will create the +user and group nvidia, and install rc.nvidia-persistenced to /etc/rc.d. + +To activate the daemon, add the following to /etc/rc.d/local: + +# Start the nvidia-persistenced daemon: +if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.nvidia-persistenced ]; then + /etc/rc.d/rc.nvidia-persistenced start +fi + +and then 'chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.nvidia-persistenced' to make it +executable. + +Add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown: + +# Stop the nvidia-persistenced daemon: +if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.nvidia-persistenced ]; then + /etc/rc.d/rc.nvidia-persistenced stop +fi + +NOTE: This may not work on all systems. If you encounter problems +with it, just 'chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.persistenced' and it will no +longer load. YMMV. |
