The
.run
file, is delegated to install the CUDA drivers for you GPU in your system. Then, after that you have the driver installed, you can use thecudatoolkit
in order to wrap the low level C/C++ function in python language. Before the installation of the python toolkit, you need to be sure that the drivers are correctly installed.More info about the procedure: https://developer.nvidia.com/how-to-cuda-python
