How to use numba in Colaboratory
Copy this code into cell. It works for me.
!apt-get install nvidia-cuda-toolkit
!pip3 install numba
import os
os.environ['NUMBAPRO_LIBDEVICE'] = "/usr/lib/nvidia-cuda-toolkit/libdevice"
os.environ['NUMBAPRO_NVVM'] = "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvvm.so"
from numba import cuda
import numpy as np
import time
@cuda.jit
def hello(data):
data[cuda.blockIdx.x, cuda.threadIdx.x] = cuda.blockIdx.x
numBlocks = 5
threadsPerBlock = 10
data = np.ones((numBlocks, threadsPerBlock), dtype=np.uint8)
hello[numBlocks, threadsPerBlock](data)
print(data)
I didn't have to install the packages @Algis suggested, but the paths to the drivers were different. So I had to do the following.
First determine the correct paths for the drivers
!find / -iname 'libdevice'
!find / -iname 'libnvvm.so'
# Output:
# /usr/local/cuda-9.2/nvvm/lib64/libnvvm.so
# /usr/local/cuda-9.2/nvvm/libdevice
Then set the paths as @Algis described
import os
os.environ['NUMBAPRO_LIBDEVICE'] = "/usr/local/cuda-9.2/nvvm/libdevice"
os.environ['NUMBAPRO_NVVM'] = "/usr/local/cuda-9.2/nvvm/lib64/libnvvm.so"
