Issues running GGEMS

Getting Started
#1

Hi, I’ve recently set up the GGEMS docker image on my device (running Ubuntu 20.04 with an nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 GPU) and I’m unable to run the examples. I followed the instructions on the GitHub README and I have both the correct nvidia drivers and nvidia-container installed on my computer and I’ve tested that the docker image can access the GPU using: docker run -it --rm --gpus all ggems/ggems:v1.2 nvidia-smi.

The issue I’m encountering is when I try to run any of the examples, it’ll crash and output “Illegal Instruction (core dumped)”. After some investigating, I believe it crashes when .initialize() is called on an object. Is there something I’ve missed with the docker setup?

Thank you,
Olivia

Dear Olivia,
It’s not easy to make a diagnosis. I have already had “Illegal Instruction (core dumped)” errors when there were incompatibility problems between my NVIDIA graphics driver and the version of CUDA. However I have just checked the GGEMS container and indeed there is a problem , and it’s probably a driver problem, I have to do an update. I’m trying to fix the problem as soon as possible.

Kind regards
Didier

Thank you so much for your response, Didier!
I’ll double-check the compatibility of my NVIDIA driver and CUDA version in the meantime and look out for any updates to the docker container!

Best,
Olivia
